  • FILE - This April 12, 2012, file photo, shows the clarity of Lake Tahoe, Nev. The clarity of Lake Tahoe's cobalt blue water improved last year from its worst level in a half-century as weather and runoff returned to more normal conditions. Scientists say a plate-sized disc used to measure clarity was visible at an average depth of 70.9 feet in 2018, which is an improvement of 10.5 feet from 2017. Scientists hope efforts to combat threats to clarity posed by development and climate change will eventually return Lake Tahoe to its historical clear depth of 100 feet. (AP Photo/Scott Sonner, File)
