Abstract
The amount of groundwater transported from the Ward Valley watershed into Lake Tahoe during the 1975 water year was 4.1 × 106 m3. This was 16% of the water volume carried by Ward Creek and 10% of the total precipitation within the watershed during the same period. Of the total nutrient loading of Lake Tahoe from the Ward Valley watershed, groundwater contributed 49% of the total nitrate‐nitrogen and 44% of the total soluble phosphorus loads. Groundwater may be a significant source of water and dissolved nutrients for Lake Tahoe, particularly in the littoral zone.
