    MP Region Public Affairs, 916-978-5100, http://www.usbr.gov/mp, February 2016 Mid-Pacific Region, Newlands Project History The Newlands Project was one of the first Reclamation projects. It provides irrigation water from the Truckee and Carson Rivers for about 57,000 acres of cropland in the Lahontan Valley near Fallon and bench lands near Fernley in western Nevada. In addition, water from about 6,000 acres of project land has been transferred to the Lahontan Valley Wetlands near Fallon. Lake Tahoe Dam, a small dam at the outlet of Lake Tahoe, the source of the Truckee Lake Tahoe Dam and Reservoir River, controls releases into the river. Downstream, the Derby Diversion Dam diverts the water into the Truckee Canal and Lahontan Dam, Reservoir, carries it to the Carson River. Other features and Power Plant include Lahontan Dam and Reservoir, Carson River Diversion Dam, and Old Lahontan Dam and Reservoir on the Carson Lahontan Power Plant. The Truckee-Carson River store the natural flow of the Carson project (renamed the Newlands Project) was River along with water diverted from the authorized by the Secretary of the Interior Truckee River.

Old Lahontan Power Plant, immediately below Lahontan Dam, has a capacity of Lake Tahoe Dam 42,000 kilowatts. The plant was completed in 1911. Lake Tahoe Dam controls the top six feet of Lake Tahoe.

    PART IV: THE LACUSTRINE SUBSISTENCE PATTERN IN THE DESERT WEST Lewis K. Napton University of California, Berkeley Archaeological investigation of prehistoric occupation sites located in the Great Basin region of the western United States has dis- closed a long and remarkably detailed record of cultural adaptation in surroundings that have been characterized as one of the New World's harshest environments. The ttrestrictive" aspects of the Great Basin environment have been stressed to such an extent that one has the impression that the entire region was a bone-dry desert occupied only by small groups of Indians who managed to eke out a precarious living by subsisting on an occasional antelope, deer, or mountain sheep, the seeds of various plants, or unpalatable foods such as locusts, ants, gophers, snakes and crickets obtained from the desert biome. This '"marginal" sub- sistence adaptation was the economic basis of a lifeway that seems to have been shared by many inhabitants of the Great Basin (Steward 1938), but it is apparent that the desert-adapted existence has considerable time-depth in the region, for archaeological evidence found in sites such as Danger Cave, in western Utah, conforms to the putative Great Basin economic pattern--a ceaseless struggle to survive in an extremely arid habitat that has apparently remained almost unchanged during the last ten thousand years. A rather different impression of life in the Great Basin may be obtained, however, from study of archaeological sites located in the western part of the basin. Sites excavated or investigated during the last half-century in the Humboldt and Carson Sinks in west-central Nevada give evidence of a regional subsistence pattern that was structured primarily on utilization of the resources found in and near the lakes and marshes located in the "sinks"r or catchment basins of the Carson, Walker, Truckee, and Humboldt Rivers (Fig.

Fowler SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was ex­ pressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowl­ edge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale mono­ graphs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.
