Between california. Nevada. The pyramid lake pauite tribe. And the truckee meadows water authority. It provides a lot more flexibility to the parties to be able to exercise their water rights. Federal water master chad blanchard administers troa. He says. It allows water right holders. Like tmwa. To more easily store water. Instead of letting it flow downstream. A water right that maybe was not being used before can now be exercised and credit stored up stream to be used later for a drought reserve. Prior to troa. Certain flows were required to be met everyday no matter during drought. Or high water year. Those requirements have been in place since the 40s when hydro power plants. And paper mills lined the river. With those water users gone. Flows dont need to be as high. Hydroelectric power is not as important as it used to be, there are no paper mills. So that rigid release of water from reservoirs to meet a certain high flow at the state line is now not there anymore. Now we can hold water back in upstream reservoirs when we dont really do really need it. This agreement calls for much better use of water storage which is a key to ready this community in times of extended drought. The Truckee River opperating agreement was officially put into use on december first. Since then. Tmwa has saved 27hundred acre feet of water. That before would have just gone downstream. State Officials Say droughtstricken california used 20 percent less water in november. That falls short of the 25 percent conservation mandate set by governor jerry brown. But the state Water Resources control board reported today that the state remains on course to beat its longterm goal through february. Residents have saved a combined 26 percent since the mandate was issued in june. The latest figures come as a series of much anticipated el nino storms begin to drench snowpack.
