the question is if the snow pack will mean more water in the truckee river. summertime truckee river flows are actually dependent on water flowing out of lake tahoe. the water is currently natural rim of the lake. for significant flows, the water needs to be a few feet above the rim -- something that is not likely to happen this year.

they've taken a big step forward in managing the truckee river. for just over a month now... the truckee has been managed under a new structure called the "truckee river operating agreement. it optimizes flows to allow for more savings in times of drought... and higher flows when more water is needed downstream.
