  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;The Office of the Solicitor, Department of the Interior, requested the Geological Survey to evaluate the reliability of streamflow records in the Truckee River basin and to determine the long-term average annual runoff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reliability of streamflow records was evaluated by comparisons between pairs of records at six locations along the Truckee River between Lake Tahoe and Pyramid Lake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The observed or estimated annual runoff near Nixon, Nevada was adjusted for changes in storage, evaporation losses, diversions, and depletions to approximate the inflow into Pyramid Lake under natural conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The long-term average annual runoff near Nixon was computed on the basis of streamflow records since 1899. The long-term (124-year) record of precipitation at Sacramento and tree ring information were used to substantiate the conclusion that the average runoff during the 74 years of streamflow record is a reliable measure of the average runoff for a longer period.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
