California got a new lake

 California sure needs all the water it can get. Last year was like an anomaly with the torrential rains, but at least something good came out of it. And I hope they don't go back to draining it again. 


LA Times 6/29/23: "Once the largest body of freshwater west of the Mississippi, Tulare Lake was drained by farmers who diverted inflows to irrigate fields of cotton, pistachios, safflower and almonds in the San Joaquin Valley."
