Geosyntec, with the Desert Research Institute, helped the Tahoe Resource Conservation District (TRCD) develop and deploy a web-based application for data management, visualization, and reporting regarding total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) to improve Lake Tahoe’s water quality. The Tahoe Regional Stormwater Monitoring Program (RSWMP) was established to control urban runoff and improve the water quality at Lake Tahoe, the second-deepest lake in the United States. However, without a data management system, the RSWMP was unable to easily assess whether its policy and management actions were meeting load reduction targets under its lake-clarity TMDL requirements.
