The Truckee–Carson Irrigation District (TCID) is a public enterprise organized in the State of Nevada , which operates dams at Lake Tahoe , diversion dams on the Truckee River in Washoe County , and the Lake Lahontan reservoir.
TCD also operates 380 miles (610 km ) of canals , and 340 miles (550 km ) of drains, in support of agriculture in Lyon County and Churchill County , western Nevada. The excess irrigation water eventually drains into the endorheic Lake Lahontan Basin.
Endangered species
[ edit ]
Diversion of water by the TCID from the Truckee River has caused a reduction in the level of natural Pyramid Lake , resulting in the endemic species of fish that live in it becoming endangered species .
In the mid-1980s the United States Environmental Protection Agency initiated development of the DSSAM Model to analyze effects of variable Truckee River flow rates and water quality upon these endangered fish species.
