In Nevada, the waters of the Truckee, Carson, and Walker river systems are fought over by competing interests: agriculture, industry, Native Americans, newer residents, and environmentalists. Much of the conflict was caused by the Newlands Project, completed in 1915, the earliest federal water reclamation scheme. This title examines the Newlands Project, its consequences, and decades of litigation over the abatement of these problems and fair allocation of water.
