The Carson City Chapter of the Citizens' Climate Lobby has moved its meeting online and will use the Zoom app. As we all cope with the pandemic, we can continue to care about and support activities that will help us cope with climate change. Join us to find out what you can do. We are a non-partisan group and welcome all interested people.

The early storm event that began on January 7 with over 5 inches of rain in some regions of the Lake Tahoe Basin before turning to snow, delivered a massive amount of runoff to the Lake in a short period of time.

During this storm event the Tahoe RCD Stormwater Monitoring Program measured the highest flows ever recorded at all eight monitoring locations since monitoring began in 2013. Our Tahoe Valley site, located off Tahoe Keys Blvd, measured 1.5 million cubic feet of flow, nearly 90% of the flow that was observed throughout the whole 2016 water year!
