		Lahontan Dam, completed in 1915, is the key feature of the Newlands Irrigation Project which has turned Lahontan Valley into one of Nevada's most productive farming and ranching areas.
		With the completion of the dam's powerhouse, the electrical energy needs of Churchill County and the surrounding area were met.
		The project was one of the first authorized under the Federal Reclamation Act of 1902 and the 1903 construction contract for Derby Dam and the Truckee Canal was the first entered into by the U.S. Reclamation Service, later the Bureau of Reclamation.

		Lahontan Reservoir is named for an ancient lake that once covered one-tenth of Nevada's present surface area.
		While Pyramid and Walker lakes are actual remnants of the original Lahontan, the 17-mile-long Lahontan Reservoir is a manmade impoundment on the Carson River.
		Naturally the lake is big with fishermen, producing brown trout, walleyes, channel catfish and a variety of bass, including the increasingly popular hybrid "wiper." Equipped with a boat launch, the park is also popular with pleasure boaters and water skiers.

		The Fallon city council voted Tuesday to approve a power contract with the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District for electricity generated by hydro-electric turbines located in Newlands Project irrigation canals and at Lahontan Dam.
		The city has to hike its power purchases in the summer to keep up with Fallon's efforts at keeping cool, just as the cost of electricity spikes to reflect the nation's love of air conditioning.
		The cost of summer-time power from TCID's Old Lahontan and 26-foot drop turbines, meanwhile, "is attractive," King said.

	OCAP: Truckee-Carson Irrigation District
		To date the District has not been able to achieve an efficiency any greater than 63%.
		The efficiency of the District operations is determined by adding together the water measured at the Wadsworth gauging station on the Truckee Canal; the water measured in the Carson River below Lahontan Dam, and the amount of water measured in the Rock Dam ditch near Lahontan Dam.
		This total is then reduced by the water measured at the Hazen gauge on the Truckee Canal — water that passes this gauge should flow into Lahontan Reservoir — and the estimated losses in the Truckee Canal.
