Once-extinct California lake returns after historic winter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:41:04 GMT

Images from NASA's Earth Observatory show how the once-extinct Tulare Lake in California is roaring back to life thanks to the historic wet and snowy winter, KTLA sister station KGET/KSEE reports. Tulare Lake located in the San Joaquin Valley was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River. By the 1920s, the rivers that fed the lake were dammed and diverted for uses such as irrigation. Since then, the lakebed has been covered by farms that grow a variety of crops. Heavy rain and snow in the first three months of 2023 have once again brought water to the Tulare lakebed.This image on the left was acquired by NASA's Operational Land Manager (OLI) on March 18, 2022, and it shows agricultural fields near Corcoran covered with water. The satellite image on the right is of the same area on March 29, 2023.NASA officials say the image is false color, which makes the water (dark blue) stand out from its surroundings. Vegetation is green and bare ground is brown.With a popul...
