The Washoe Project, with Prosser Creek Dam completed in 1962, was initially Reclamations answer to irrigation and flood control needs in western Nevada and eastern California. A product of the Newlands Project of 1903, the projects first completed features, Prosser Creek and Stampede Dams, were originally planned to better regulate runoff from the Truckee and Carson Rivers, and store water for irrigation of the Nevada desert. Reclamations goals for these first dams were revised for environmental considerations. Project features built later responded to environmental issues that arose at Pyramid Lake. Examination of the Washoe Project gives one a sense of the changes in public sentiment toward agriculture and the environment, and the chronic trials that can be associated with the distribution of water resources.
