    It was a lake roughly 800 sq miles in size. It was purposely drained for farmland mostly owned by JG Boswell Co. It does this 'flooding' thing periodically.

      Exactly. I live over a HUGE underground lake that was used for years to water golf courses. Very illegal to since I live in Arizona and the northern part of the greater Phoenix area.
      This is what happens when man thinks he can manage the weather, then God says, hold my rootbeer.

    The great central valley in California used to have many small lakes, marshlands, and herds of wild game throughout. Then came the farms, towns, cities etc and everything changed. There are a few spots here and there where a wildland area was saved or restored but most is now farmland and big towns. Tulare lake is a prehistoric lake that was formed by Sierra snowmelt before it was drained by man. This last winter was so far above average rain and snowfall, they couldn't stop the lake from forming again. The area where I live in Northern California normally gets 35 inches of rain average. This last winter we got 70 inches! Amazing!

    Record snows in the Southen Sierras last Spring led to an increased runoff that was 4 times greater than what is average. The runoff fed rivers that run inro the Central Valley basin, the site of Tulare Lake. Tulare Lake had been diverted and drained to create the productive farmlands in the early 20th Century. On a positive note, the farmers have been able to store karge amounts of water for future use and the groundwater aquifers, which have been over taxed and lowered, are being replenished.. Unfortunately, the loss of croplands does impact the cost we pay for certain food items.

We have gotten too use to being able to buy certain fresh foods year around in places it just isn't meant to be. There's something to be said about getting back at least a bit closer to more natural food supply. Buying avocados or pineapples in December in the northern US when it's -10 outside just isn't right.
