Sometime good political mandates are a benefit to communities such as Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

About 40 years ago researchers began measuring the water clarity in Lake Tahoe. Recently for the first time, University of California (UC) Davis scientists have determined the water clarity is beginning to improve starting in 2001.

Many new restrictions have been placed on construction in the Tahoe basin. One such measure is that you can not move dirt with a tractor during the winter months. Also the latest method imposed for all Lake Tahoe Vacation Rentals and private residences is that you must put gravel around your home to prevent dirt from running into the sewers and the lake.

From 1968 to 2001 there was decline in lake clarity due in part to over development around the entire lake. Reserve My Home offers information to its owners of its Lake Tahoe vacation rentals and cabins to help keep Tahoe Blue.

Many travelers from around the world come to the Lake Tahoe area just to see the lake and keeping it blue should be considered a priority for all visiting or residing in the Lake Tahoe basin.
