The mountain resort town of
Tahoe City sits on the edge of;
one of the biggest ready-made
reservoirs im the world, but a
state commission lists the area as
water deficient.
Some lakeshore residents can
not see why that should be, with
the 122,000,000 acre feet of water
in Lake Tahoe at their doorsteps,
but few deny the water problems exist.
Tahoe. is a natural lake, but
a dam built in the. 1870s controls
the flow to. downstream points
and the level: of the lake:
The lake is operated almost
exclusively for the benefit of
~ those’ downstream users. This,
plus confusion about’ the water
rights.of those who live on the
lake, has ted to a shortage.
Lake Tahoe has a sewage disposal problem .-which grows as
fast as the booming population—
expected to réadh 200,000 ultimately—and a Shortage of water
for domestic use:
A federal court-drder gives the
government permission. to. maintain the lake level at between
elevations “of 6,223.~and. 6,229.1
feet.
This six feet of water srovilles
storage of abgut 720,000 acre feet
of water and also some knotty
problems.
If the level falls too low, beaches and boat facilities are hutt.
If too high, property damage and
sewage problems result. The
Army Engineers estimate ,.damage at $200,000 in 1951 when the
level approached. the maximum,

On active duty with both Air
