Flying an airplane over Tulare Lake 2023: What happened??

[@Wolficorntv]

There is one correction I would like to make in my video. At 5:18 I state that the average depth of the lake is 25 feet. I believe that to be incorrect info and based on the original lake size from the 1800s. The current average depth should be less, but I don't have an accurate number. I REALLY wish KZbin would let us creators re-upload videos to correct things like this, but, alas, they do not. Thanks for your understanding!

Tulare Lake should become a state park. So it could stabilize ground water levels, and make the local environment and central valley less desert like.

[@SarahGreen523]

Would it stabilize ground water levels if Tulare's bottom is solid clay? Water can't penetrate clay. However, it will create a lacustrian ecosystem that will bring birds and other wildlife, as well as grasses, sedges, rushes and cattails and so much more. I hope it never dries up.

[@mischevious]

Allowing the marshlands to return would be essential to that goal. That would require the absence of all development, wouldn’t be allowed even if all the property owners were willing to give up their land. Wetlands are prime targets for developers; easily developed flat land that just needs to be dried out. That’s the majority of flat land in the US.

[@jimbeam-ru1my]

"we also drained the only way it was being replenished." Nonsense. that area is a giant bowl. every bit of rain that falls there is absorbed into the ground and the constant seismic activity helps to prevent the aquifer from being compacted.

The Tachi Yokut lived on the north west shore of the tule lake. They had a price put on their heads by the first governor of California. This area is covered with greed. Mother will wash it away as she did this year. In the end nature always wins.

In the past, one could take a paddlewheel ship from Stockton to just north of Bakersfield. I discovered this because I wondered why there were piers, wharfs, and docks up and down the valley. I recall there even was a derelict steamboat north of Dinuba. That was the early 1990s, I haven't been back since. Piers and such can likely still be found here and there in the valley.

I've read the native Yokuts who lived around this lake built reed boats like the ones at Lake Titicaca. They didn't appreciate the incursion into their hunting and fishing lands and the immigrants didn't appreciate the Yokuts. I've read the State of California put a bounty on the scalps of all Yokuts, children and women included, of $5. This allowed the immigrants to occupy themselves prior to their agricultural pursuits . . . to make some money. Many were miners left over from the 1848-55 Gold Rush. The bounty was imposed mid-to-late 1800's and wasn't rescinded until 1903. What's left of the Yokuts operate a casino in LeMoore, CA. Perhaps have something to do with the one in Coarsegold. The profits can be a source of conflict between some of the sub-bands of these natives as they fight over who is entitled to what. California History.

[@RichardMichael-k6o]

Worse happened to The Yokuts. Most were slaughtered in a genocidal rate. The natives of California, most of whom lived in The Central Valley, were one of two tribes in all of North America that were sedentary complete with towns and institutions like schools, town halls, and hospitals. Smallpox got most of them, and the farmers made sure there was no trace of their towns left. History of California.

Tulare Lake is a component of local flood control. The Kings River is connected to the San Joaquin River system via the Fresno Slough. A lack of storage on the SJR means their flows have to go downstream. Merced, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne rivers also flow into the SJR. Tulare Lake is a safe storage facility.

[@trinydex]

are you advocating for a dam of the SJR?

@@jerroldkazynski5480 I think this is the solution. more storage. makes no sense to keep having record rainfalls and continuous draught. if I make lots of money and still end up broke every month that's money mismanagement. In California if we do that with water, it's somehow called climate change and too much demand.

[@jerroldkazynski5480]

@trinydex Plus, for those who track the farmed acreage of the Tulare Lake bed, there isn't enough surface water to allow farming of the lakebed every year. Pre-history, Tulare Lake periodically dried up, as Owens Lake did also, before diversion of river waters for beneficial uses.

[@trinydex]

@@jerroldkazynski5480 the narrative needs to change. there's a segment of Californians who lean toward environmentalism who just think saying no to everything is the answer. less humans is the answer. less human activity is the answer. we need to let the adults retake the helm and stop listening to nonsense.

Thank you so much for this informative and super fun trip over Central CA. I have been up north a bit for over 30 years and the flooding at my place was the worst ever. Invested in effective flood barriers that did prevent the water from entering to only a few inches instead of the water making it in half way. I grew up in a Cessna, flying before I was born in THE EARLY 50s! Then a career that had me flying about 3 million commercial air miles all over the world. Often went to a nearby small airport and asked in the lounge if anyone would take me for a ride. Tromso Norway was amazing, a Havilland with skies on a glacier in Alaska, so many cherished flights in small planes any chance I got. All of your videos are interesting to me and your explanations and information is valuable. Keep up the good work. You bring back my wonderful memories of a life spent in and around aircraft. I currently live on the flight path of a metropolitan airport and always happy to hear aircraft over my head. Often run outside to see what plane is making that lovely engine music overhead. When I have to move far away in a few years to more accessible housing near relatives, I hope to find a place near a small airport.

Tulare lake is a natural environmentally positive answer to help with what CA needs desperately, more ways to store water during wet years instead of flushing it out to sea and Tulare lake is a natural catch basin. The value of land, the value of food is meaningless without sustainable water supplies. Luckily one miracle winter has temporarily gave CA a little breathing room and some irony is that farms not flooded by the reemerged Tulare lake will benefit by being able to use the cheaper surface water from this new supply.

Drove through there shortly after the flooding. The stench from the manure that was flooded in that area was well beyond anything that I’ve experienced. You could smell it from well north of Fresno to well passed Bakersfield.

Fascinating video...I now know more than Gavin Nuisance about the topic at hand.

With the history telling us what it originally was , you know all it would take was a winter like we just had, Mother nature always had the final word , it's an incredible thing to see , and the shear size of it, I've been watching and reading about this for a while with the drought and how bad it got , and the ground water situation and the sinking , the drought just kicked our ass , I've been driving rigs from southern Cali to up past Sacramento for 30 yrs now , it's a wild thing to see
