Lake Tahoe is located at the bottom of a very deep basin. There are 63 streams and tributaries that flow into the lake and only 1 that flows out. This means that dirt, lawn chemicals and runoff (among other things) are flowing into the lake, but very little is flowing back out of it. These nutrients feed the algae growing in the lake and cause the cloudiness and loss in clarity. |
