INTERSTATE ALLOCATION (NEVADA AND CALIFORNIA)

An agreement between the states of Nevada and California over the use of the waters of Lake Tahoe and the Truckee, Carson, and Walker rivers which was ratified by California (1970) and Nevada (1971), but was never ratified by Congress. Despite this, both states have enacted legislation to enforce to the allocation of the Truckee, Carson, and Walker rivers between these two states. Subsequently, in 1990 many of the compact's provisions dealing with the waters of Lake Tahoe and the Truckee and Carson rivers became formalized under Public Law 101-618 (the Negotiated Settlement).
