A reach of the Truckee River at McCarran Ranch (Patrick, Nevada) is being restored to return the riparian floodplain and channel to a more natural state. A comprehensive suite of ecological parameters was monitored by DRI
|
 |
For over 30 years DRI has collected monthly grab samples of the Truckee River, from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. This dataset is a critical long-term record of spatial and temporal variation in water quality.

DRI provided the technical analysis and review necessary to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the California Portion of the Truckee River.
|
 |
This project involves estimating the sediment load from the Truckee Basin and developing relationships between turbidity and sediment. Because turbidity can be collected remotely and continuously, it is a valuable surrogate for suspended sediment concentration.

DRI hydrogeologists characterized the groundwater system in the Fernley Basin and determined the TDS loading to the Truckee River between the towns of Wadsworth and Nixon. A groundwater flow and transport model was constructed to integrate all of the available data and to predict the potential loadings under various management alternatives.
|
 |
To determine the influence of algae on in-stream water quality, DRI scientists designed laboratory experiments that simulate groundwater nutrient flux, promote periphyton algae growth, and measure the resultant change in nutrient concentration in the water column

 |
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how climatic conditions vary between the Reno NOAA station and local habitats along the lower Truckee River.
