About nevada irrigation district

Nevada Irrigation District (NID) is an agency in Northern California that supplies water for much of Nevada County and portions of Placer and Yuba Counties. The water is used for irrigation, municipal and domestic purposes. It was established in 1921.

The Nevada Irrigation District owns and operates a system of ten reservoirs, many part of the Yuba-Bear Hydroelectric Project. These include:

Bowman Reservoir, 68,510 acre feet (84,510,000 m³)

Combie Reservoir, 5,555 acre feet (6,852,000 m³)

Faucherie Reservoir, 3,980 acre feet (4,910,000 m³)

French Lake Reservoir, 13,800 acre feet (17,000,000 m³)

Jackson Lake Reservoir, 1,130 acre feet (1,390,000 m³)

Jackson Meadows Reservoir, 69,205 acre feet (85,363,000 m³)

Rollins Reservoir, 65,988 acre feet (81,395,000 m³)

Sawmill Reservoir, 3,030 acre feet (3,740,000 m³)

Scotts Flat Reservoir, 48,547 acre feet (59,882,000 m³)

The district also has seven hydroelectric plants. Unlike many of California's irrigation districts, it is not an electrical utility.
