Carson City Nevada #EasternSierraTour stopped at #WestWalkerRiver to hear from Carlie Henneman about how Walker Basin Conservancy is buying water rights from local farmers to increase flows into Walker Lake. The goal is to reduce salinity at the terminus lake & restore native Lahontan cutthroat trout.

When this ramp was built at Walker Lake, the water would've come up to our waists. Thanks to Walker Basin Conservancy we've made progress toward recovery, but extreme drought still threatens the entire basin. That's why I'm pushing the Biden Admin to take action now to protect our water.
