The 26th annual spring gathering is the area's longest-running citizen science program, where teams of volunteers of all ages and abilities collect water samples and measure their quality across the across the Truckee River watershed. Data from the lakes, streams and rivers provides a point in time snapshot of the quality of the drinking water and recreational areas.
"Snapshot Day is a fan-favorite event because it directly connects people with this beautiful watershed where they live, work or play - but in a completely different way," said Courtney Baumann, Keep Tahoe Blue's engagement manager and event organizer in a prepared statement.
Research by the University of California, Davis indicates that sediment from the Upper Truckee River is a primary driver of the Lake Tahoe's clarity, and recent years have seen a shift in algae composition that also contributes to the lake's clarity. The research from the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center shows that while the lake is no longer losing about a foot of clarity per year as it did from the 1960s to the the 1990s, it has also not yet improved.
