After more than 100 years, Tulare Lake is rising again.
Tulare Lake was once the largest lake West of the Mississippi before farmers in the 1920s diverted the rivers that filled it to nourish crops. But after a winter of heavy rain and flooding in the Tulare Basin, the lake is once again filling up.
The image above, acquired by the Operational Land Imager on Landsat 8, shows flooded farm fields in the lakebed on April 30, 2023. NASA satellites captured the progression of rising waters of the 10-million-acre lake rising back to life. The images below show the progression of flooding in the Tulare Lake basin. They were acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA’s Aqua satellite between March 2 and April 28, 2023.
