Join us in this video showing how Tulare Lake was once a thriving, enormous ecosystem that was changed into rich farmland by extensive construction of canals, ditches, and levees. The farmland, once thought to be permanently dry, is periodically flooded during wet years. Video taken along the flooding Tule River on March 28, 2023 shows how Tulare Lake will once again fill in 2023 as record Sierra snow pack melts and keeps the rivers full into the summer.
