Truckee Meadows Water Authority Climate Change Outlook (2018-2019)

Every 5-years Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) completes a Water Resource Plan that is presented to the public. For the 2020-2040 plan, PWRE used Climate Change hydrology data from eight General Circulation Models (GCMs) that were developed in the Water for the Seasons project to evaluate impacts to TMWA under climate change. As a part of this project, methodologies and tools were developed to allow TWMA to independently run the Climate Change hydrology data through the Truckee/Carson RiverWare® Planning Model with various system supply alternatives. See TMWA's final product, which includes a link to PWRE’s paper.
