Truckee-Carson Irrigation District

Truckee-Carson Irrigation District (TCID) is a U.S. local government entity located in Fallon, Nevada, registered in SAM.gov since 2002. The organization focuses on water resource management and infrastructure development within the Truckee and Carson River watersheds in Nevada. As a critical water management organization, TCID works closely with the Bureau of Reclamation to implement water conservation, renewable energy, and infrastructure improvement projects that enhance regional water resource efficiency and sustainability.

Through multiple federal grant awards from the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART program, TCID has undertaken several strategic projects aimed at improving water management infrastructure and technological capabilities. These projects include rehabilitating the Lahontan Dam tower, upgrading hydropower generation equipment by replacing turbine runners to increase renewable energy production, installing solar-powered data loggers and transmitters at water metering locations, and developing advanced seasonal water supply forecasting models. The grants, ranging from $221,213 to $4,398,039, have supported initiatives that enhance water delivery efficiency, increase renewable energy generation, and improve hydrological monitoring and predictive capabilities. Each project aligns with TCID's five-year strategic plan to optimize measurement, accounting, and reporting of water resources, with a specific focus on the Newlands Reclamation Project in western Nevada. The projects demonstrate TCID's commitment to technological innovation, water conservation, and sustainable resource management through targeted infrastructure and technology investments.
