Eighty percent of the Truckee River Meadows Authority’s water supply comes from Lake Tahoe. Snow, tributary creeks and springs and some groundwater ultimately provide the water supply that is needed for the district. The existing reservoirs are also a part of the water system. These storage areas facilitate management through the benefits of water banking in the reservoir and a source to send flows into the Truckee River. Complexities in managing the entire system are supported by the public more now than ever. The public has taken on a, “Let’s get involved with the river”, as a strong stewardship effort that protects the resource and provides recreational value. Knowing your source for drinking water really motivates the management of that source. Water is a Many Splendor’ed Thing brings you another water relationship that has a personally significant impact to your life.
