Interior secretary signs water agreement for northern Nevada

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell has signed an agreement to end longstanding water disputes between the federal government and the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation on the Nevada-Idaho border. The agreement signed Friday by Jewell guarantees water rights for the tribes while providing certainty for upstream water users of the East Fork of the Owyhee River.
