The clarity of the water in Lake Tahoe improved in 2018 after a dramatic falloff the year before following record rains.
Lake Tahoe's cobalt blue waters are seen on Aug. 31, 2016. The clarity of the lake improved dramatically last year after plummeting the previous year.
Scientists measure water clarity by lowering a 10-inch-wide white disk into the lake and noting the lowest point at which the disk remains visible. In 2017, the disk was visible at an average depth of 60.4 feet — an all-time low.But the lake bounced back in 2018. The average clarity from 26 readings taken throughout the year was 70.9 feet, according to the UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center.
