INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The Water Education Foundation’s “Sierra Headwaters Tour” concluded on Friday, July 26, wrapping up multiple days of educational seminars about Tahoe Basin water issues.
The tour visited Eldorado National Forest, the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center, and Lake Tahoe (among other locations) to highlight the work each does in the California watershed. The Bureau of Reclamation and the California Department of Water Resources are both major sponsors of the multi-day event.
“We do public water education, not just for professionals. We want everyone’s opinion to be as informed as possible,” says Nick Gray, the organization’s Programs Director. “Part of that is emphasizing that the water story doesn’t start at the reservoirs.”
