Water is life! Here in the Truckee Meadows, 85% of our drinking water comes from the Truckee River. With our watershed stretching from Spanish Springs and Sugarloaf Peak to Virginia City and Washoe Lake - so much of our groundwater flows into our river. If you live or spend time in the Truckee River Watershed, your actions matter.
At One Truckee River, through our River-Friendly Living Program, we’re building awareness and engagement to care for the gem of our region, the Truckee River, as an important community asset. Our Program is divided into four branches - providing many options to care for the Truckee River. Explore the links below to learn more.
