The lake isn't "flooded", it's returned to where it once was. It's the farms and town that aren't supposed to be at the bottom of the lake.
It should become a protected lake, and I'm a republican.
@@Mcfunface Thats awesome!! but you don't need to become a democrat or republican to like nature, we can all enjoy it and remain on our political preference. :)
@@andrewapurcell two wings to the same beast
I am campaining for the lake!
Have I found an alternate dimension? There's no name calling no attacks, what the fuck?! This isn't the internet!? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?! IEFMQIWSDLASDUNFZKUDGHNEURIULNQEIFMQWEFNU Error 404 not found
Let it be the great lake it once was
The greedy rich won’t let it
if we did we would misplace 7.2 million people it used to cover the entire central valley, you know how much food we eat is grown there. I against the “greedy rich” doing what they do, There are still people who call that land home.
On a much smaller scale, Sumas Lake reappeared in the Fraser River valley east of Vancouver in '21. The native folks were pushing for it being left to recover to what it once was, an historical tribal food source, but for most, it was a new phenomenon. It was very shallow, and varied between 10,000 and 30,000 acres during the spring freshet. They decided instead to increase dykes and pumping power to keep it dry.
I hope the Lake will completely refill to its highest level as fast as possible.
Much larger lake exists there many thousands yeara ago. Lake Corcoran.
@@pjaro77 Lake Corcoran ended due to natural causes. Tulare Lake was removed due to man made reasons. So we should be aiming for the return of Tulare Lake, not Lake Corcoran.
@@nikhilnagboth8425 I am not against it.
Me too I hope the entire watershed is restored and the San Joaquin is back to being what it once was and oak woodland and riparian forest.
It will, winter rains will become stronger due to warming of oceans. American summer monsoon will intensify too and shift to north but it will takes some decades. Not only this lake will return. Middle pliocene (4 million years ago ) great basin and california was full of lakes.
I like to preserve it original lake like before. This may have been the reason that California keep having drought. The water and precipitation cycke disrupted when the settlers drained the lake to farm. If the lake is kept at it natural stage without human interference, drought would be less frequent to none.
I agree. Since a lot of the Amazon Rainforest has been lost due to logging and slash and burning for farming there's been more drought in the Amazon particular I've heard of Droughts in Brazil. The forest would maintain its own ecosystem.
hello, i believe hurricane hilary is going to help us return the lake to what it once was haha
As a Arizonan it’s about water rights with the colorado river (which from what I was taught California has been very poor at maintaining) and they always use way more then what other states use in terms of percentage of what water goes to each state.
Clearly this lake needs to be there.
I just love thay california is finally getting its waters back filling lakes and reservoirs esapecily here in the central valley
Lol and they're complaining about it
I live in Tulare County and I would rather have Tulare Lake than a bunch of farms that are growing a bunch of non-native water intensive crops. Please bring back this common good for the people.
agreed in principle, but not wanting "non native water intensive crops" wouldn't leave much to eat at the end of the day
@@neckarsulme it would because most of that water intensive non native crop are almonds, and cotton which is exported to other countries. It’s not even feeding Americans. They need to switch to more water resilient crops that feed Americans.
@@neckarsulmewhats primary is that they drained the lake to grow cash crops like almonds or alfalfa, not staples like wheat or beans. the way american agriculture works right now in the US is really good for maximizing profit; feeding people is a secondary concern.
@@pupyfan69forcing us to consume their subsidized commodities!! Non organic industry Farmers killing the environment while getting rich. Hogging up all the land
please flood the homes of thousands of people, please flood 2 state prisons. get an education please
Declare a ecological zone and allow the lake to become at least a semi-occurring wetland
Every 40 years
@@singlefather01 every 40 years for a lake that has been drained completely is impressive
@@singlefather01 they could replenish it with cloud seeding
@@singlefather01 keep it as a reservoir
@@robinssstoo bad cloud seeding is mostly for the corrupt and greedy
This is wonderful!!!! The lake returned.
She meant aquifer not aqueduct, lol. I have empathy for them coming from a Ag background myself but when you build in a dry lake bed, only dry because you diverted the rivers you have to expect this.
It was a pretty stupid report by the field reporter. She actually said that a dry lake bed got “flooded”! And damn those lower aqueducts!!!!
I don’t feel sorry for the farmers. It’s their fault for building and growing on a dry lake bed thinking it would be dry forever
I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!
The majority of the land flooded is farmland owned by the same company since the late 1800's.
@@chingvang9320 are you sure mother nature did this ?
@@chingvang9320 i mean the flood
@@jaceware8808Isn't it some dirty jews that own it?
If the El Niño is a wet one that lake will be huge!
plus, it will stay there for couple more years.
Oh yeah, Hillary is round 2. Who knows what this winter will bring, but I'm sure it will nasty or nice, depending on how you view it.
There was a lake before there was valuable farmland
Amen to that!
Also, when aqueducts were mentioned, the anchor meant aquifers
Nature > Farmer John
We also had a riparian forest and oak woodlands throughout the San Joaquin Valley - I hope we can restore the Tulare Lake watershed but people in the valley need to come together and demand it.
All the farming structures are not supposed to be there. People are naïve they actually believe that the lake was gone. This has nothing to do with climate change, it’s the cycle of nature that turning on and off as it wish.
The lake bottom land is still there. It's still a lake bottom, but like other natural lakes, it's a wet lake again. Geography matters. Teach your children well.
15 feet sounds very shallow for a lake. It wouldn’t last more than a few years.
it lasted for centuries without human intervention why would it not do the same with human intervention stopped? plus 25 ish feet thick water across an area that large is very high@@singlefather01
Thank God for the rain🌧
It’s just really hard to feel sad about this…
Man took this lake 130 yrs ago from the indians. Now God gives it back.
How wonderful ! Hopefully God makes the water stay, it belongs there.
California: “help! We’re in a draught! It’s a sure sign that humans are irreversibly damaging the environment!”
Also California: “it’s terrible! The lake we drained a hundred years ago came back and now we can’t grow our pistachios!”
Cry
real (im from cali)
Let Tulare Lake live and return it to the Yokuts!
Amen bro!
You know how polluted that water is? All of that flooded aggro land with no outflow. Sure it may have some signs of life, but it won’t be very clean.
@@TheGhostOf2020 True, but it will clean itself out over time if we allow it the chance. There is a lot of wildlife coming to the lake now, even with it being polluted.
Nah, it's our land.
@@ban4981 It's Yokuts land
In today world the environmentalist would protect Tulare lake and all the species around it. What a difference 100 years makes.
add loads of beavers to it , they dont eat fish and they will make the area extremely fertile also add loads of fish and if it never dries up it will be a great fishery.
Add a beaver.
If I owned flooded farm land I'd look at replicating Chinampas: floating garden beds
Nature always fight back,they should keep the lake as it is and find new place to farm
The restoration of the Tulare Lake watershed would greatly improve the quality of life and natural landscape of the southern San Joaquin Valley - which people think is a desert - but it was actually greener than the Northern Central Valley AKA the Sacramento Valley. The opportunities for recreation and even prime real estate which is what California is all about is probably the only thing that would get people to want to protect it.
Mother nature always wins long live the lake
Hopefully it's helping to replenish ground water. That is the area of CA that's sinking isn't it.
she said it's down 10+ feet over the last couple decades. It should replenish.
California cries when it has no water and cries more when it has too much. For being an economic powerhouse plagued by droughts or floods one year to the next maybe commit to more water storage. A lot of it.
Nobody is crying bozo
Imagine how toxic that water is because of farming runoff
At 2:01 she calls it a "full-on ecosystem". It was that historically, but a temporary flood does not allow the aquatic plants, fish, invertebrates, etc. to suddenly appear.
Not suddenly, but it happens quick.
Let the lake reign.
We need to keep the lake!!!
Great story. It's going to leave a vert fertile top soil after it recedes.
Water is Life
Will there be bass and crappies in it soon!!????
I ain’t no tree hugging soy boy. But I’m rooting for the lake
they all seem stunned that weather changes, that when it rains...lakes and ponds form. Isn't this a good enough topic for you warmingdoomers?
loss of vegetables turns to gain of many species of fish.
What? The heat to melt more snow? It doesn’t sound like Tulare lake is going any where any time soon. We have so much land, why can’t they move and make this a permanent water reservoir?
Because Newsom wants to build a $4B reservoir (paid by for YOU the taxpayer) instead.
It would be nice if it returned to its old size and depth naturally.
Don’t feel bad for the farmers. Shouldn’t have stole the land from the natives smh.
Crops couldn’t have been that critical if we are still ok.
Save the lake, please
Why are prices gonna go up? In the contrary other sellers are just going to profit because of this loss.Its a loss for whoever was growing crops.Justgottagrow moresomewhere else .
I concur. It's already insanity that people try to compete with growing thirsty crops like avocados and almonds against much more humid countries like Mexico; one lake won't wake up American farmers from their fever dream of growing things in the wrong climate 😂
Apart from the aquifer guffaw, the reporter was surprisingly informative. Most tv reporters are all drama and lipstick, but she had solid back story and treated this with the respect it deserved. A lot of lives were disrupted and it would have been nice if she had spoken to any of the people there, or looked at owenership structure (mega ag corps vs smal and private farms) but apart from that, nice presentation and happy for a very human, bare bone but respectful performance.
GMA, stop with the banner along the bottom for the entire report. It would be nice to see the entire picture.
So they complain if there's a lack of water, and they complain once that water is replenished.
Stupid whoever decided to use an old lake bed as farm land. Hope that lake stays there for years to come. 🙌🏽
Same! Go nature!
Just wait until the price of food goes even higher. With the loss of this farm land a lot of valuable food won’t be able to grow anymore.
JG Bosswell
Industrious people turning swamp lands into farmland. Basically every civilization in the world has done this. You need to learn some basic history before calling people stupid.
@@rachaelpate6778 it’s okay I can afford it. Not complaining about prices. 🙃
The farmer need to come together and use the lake for recreational park. Just charge people to go there while the land are under water. It's a win win for both the Indians and the farmers.
The Indians were murdered wdym
Thanks mother nature karma is coming to cally 😂😂😂
Just think of the crud growing in that water, what with the cow manure and chicken poo.
well life seems to be thriving in it
You think about for us.
Colonizer?
Throw some fish in there make it a fishing destination
Why not go to where the fish are now?
They did that with the Salton sea and that went as well as expected
"The Colonizers", good lord.
What?. The Truth hurts Esau?
It's true. The settlers/colonizers/farmers/corporations killed and drove off the indigenous Yokuts communities and then drained the lake to grow cotton. Boswell and others continue stealing water from homes and the rivers, diverting it for wasteful crops. "Colonizers" is pretty apt. I'm surprised a large news agency described it accurately.
That’s literally what they’re called 😂 pick up a history book 🤦♂️
lmao its the funniest cope. the entire central valley was once an
ancient lake. *yawn* jg boswell's farm got flooded, risk of growing in a lake bed basin
@@Defender_messenger Lol, right?
Fine, I wont eat pistachios anymore then.
lake is much better for california than the farmland is now. we get cheaper produce from other states or even from mexico.
I think the farms need to be relocated and allow the lake to grow back to its pre 1850 stays, after all, California does have a drought issue and can use all the water it can!
America has massive amounts of agricultural land that can be used to compensate for the loss of this land.
The sierra Nevada needs to be filled with pines to protect the ice from melting to fast
What is the situation in October 2024 ? We haven't had rain for months .
God works in strange ways ... Embrace this water is LIFE ...!
Will the lake recharge aquifers?
Yes.
Short term it will have a bad impact on farming and the economy, but if it stays, which it should, it will have numerous long-term benefits: evaporation will increase rainfall to other parts of the region which will reduce drought, it will at least partially restore aquifers so will reduce land sinking and provide more drinking and irrigation water, and it can be used directly for irrigation of farmland - but use of water will have to be monitored with water permits and public ownership of aquifers and wells probably the best option to keep it sustainable so that it doesn't disappear again
Great report. Fair and balanced. Even touches on aquifer depletion. We can expect climate change to make water supplies more unsteady, which is going to be hard especially on orchard crops which take years to establish. Almonds are being ripped out all over the place.
in the immortal words of the great Nelson Munce, nature says "haha "
They can try pumping the lake out, all these farmers are just helping us dry out and lower the lake bed for Lake Tulare to return
Did she really say the Colonizers??😵💫🤮. What a parrot.
What if another wet winter hits and this lake don't go away
Just nature reclaiming it's Land.
Just like we made a mistake building a city (New Orleans) between a lake and a river 9 feet below sea level, never should have drained the lake. In a great big country we can grow crops in other places. Leave the lake and let it grow (also, as a lake in the central valley, would be a great way to store water in wet years for use in a pinch in dry years) and not to mention recreational opportunities
Go lake go!!!!!
How about when it drys up use it as water storage.
Wait, what? Your report makes the return of Tulare Lake a bad thing. I thought wetlands were sacred not to be disturbed or interfered with. If water is so precious then why is a state that is in perpetual drought so eager to see it dry up again? I am with the native Americans on this. Preserve Tulare Lake at all costs…!
Hope the lake stays and residents get compensated
Where will the compensation money come from?
I wonder how much fertilizer and pesticides are in that water?
I’m shocked that anyone would lament the resurrection of a murdered lake.
It's Aquifer, not Aquaduct
Jethro Tull.
1890s - Newspaper reports of pterodactyl-like beasts living in the swamps of Tulare. And then drained. One could say, "Public opinion dictates thusly; well it's surely a good thing that it's being drained on account of those flying monsters said to live there." And another could say, "Rest in peace, pterodactyls of Tulare."
They didn't deplete the "aqueducts," the depletion was of the aquifer. I sensed she was having a hard time with calling them "colonizers," but that's exactly what they were: Spanish, then American colonizers.
It may not be your fault you were born Western European or Western European American, but Western Europeans did some really foul things to provide today's Western Europeans with title to lands that were not their own, and that they did not earn.
That's so crazy! It's almost like humans have been doing that to each other since the dawn of time! 😮
It is great news for the earth's biosphere water evaporation provides critical oxygen replenishment. Most importantly, it will help the ozone layer that acts like a natural shield against UV rays from the Sun.
Wow
Lol at the guy asking how long the lake will be there even though she literally just said it a minute earlier.
3:00 in juat say "a reminder, this doesn't even account for all the wasted food we produce every single year that if we just factored in would need no significant price increases.."
Team Lake!!
Did ya really have to say “we came in… the colonizers” it was some wealthy cotton farmers that left the south and bought up all the land and diverted all the water.
It wasn’t most of the farmers there either, mainly the cotton tycoons.
I call BS the prices are Going to go up? What about all of the years that they PAID farmers to not grow crops to keep prices up?? Bring Tulare Lake back!!!
So add soil and plant...you'll fetch a high price for your crops and won't even need to water them
So many people crying!! If you live and grow crops in a lake basin expect to get flooded out!!! No sympathy here
Great reporting! Let Pa'ashi live!
Lake flooded in 1997 as well. Natives deserve their lake back.
Leave it there. It’s not flooded, it’s taking back what once belonged to it.
The first settlers of our coast really were dumb. Towns in the middle of extremely burn-happy redwood forests, a major industrial city in my state that lies in the lahar zone of the beautiful time-bomb that is Mt. Rainier (a literal SUPERVOLCANO)- and then there was this.
Aquifer, good report. Not a new normal?
Lmao 😂 saying the lake is gonna be there for only 2 years is like yall not knowing it wouldve shown up to begin with.. you dont know. I really hope this lake grows to be massive. If you let the lake grow, you could have a big enough fresh water lake that could sustain a water supply for years and years!
let it be, might also bring back lake corcoran
Depleted the aquifer not the aqueduct.
Tulare lake should remain, can’t we tell that we have fucked up already lmao
See I told a news station that something like this would happen but don't believe me now I ask man all you rich and poor Californians please use that water efficiently who knows when God/ or mother nature will bless you all again with it. Gotta love mother mother earth.
STUPID QUESTION ALERT!
There's a lake, flooding valuable farmland, sitting atop depleted aquifers. If numerous large bore holes were drilled from the lake bed down to the level of the depleted aquifers, would the lake drain into the aquifers filling them?
Steinbeck asked the same question in East of Eden. This is nothing new to California. And while this is valuable farmland for the most part not a lot of long term damage. Only the most foolish were planting orchards and did so knowing the risk.
As for the question I am no hydrologist but I assume it is not worth the effort. It naturally drains to the aquafer. We just need to stop sending the water elsewhere. They are currently sending water from the Kern River into the aqueduct where it will ultimately end up going to the ocean as all the water storage is filled to safe levels. We need more water storage but foolishly waste money on highspeed rail and creating more homelessness.
Yeah, let's dump all this water polluted with farming chemicals and chicken and cow manure into the Central California aquifers. Great idea.
@@frankmartin8471 Uh Oh, somebody has their Grump Pants on.
Expensive
Everything happens for a reason and this was that reason...
Wait it doesn’t seem like it would have an impact on world prices ❤
I've been wanting to go home and see the lake for a while I thought it was really cool but I can't really get a good picture with all the pop-ups and all of the boxes on the picture picture it kind of takes away from what you're trying to see
She says colonizers like it’s bad.
It is bad, and she meant whites. Not any other race
You heard colonizers like It's bad.
