Truckee Water Quality and Native American News
(2008-09-05)
(KUNR) - On this edition of Nevada Newsline, we don't allow oily, nutrient rich runoff from storm drains, parking lots and roads to flow into lake Tahoe ? Then why do we allow these types of pollution to flow untreated into the Truckee River ? Nonpoint source pollution like run off from lawns, construction sites and streets is the leading cause of pollution in the Truckee and in waterways across the country. This hour host Brian Bahouth takes your calls for a conversation with environmental scientist Birgit Widegren. Also this hour, we hear from Shayne Del Cohen with the latest news from Indian Country. Enjoy the show. © Copyright 2009, KUNR
