Tulare Lake, the 9th largest lake in America, was a long-standing fixture of the Central Valley (California). But today, it is gone. In this video, I look at the history of this fascinating lake, the reasons for its draining, and the consequences that decision is having on the region to this very day.

I thought this was an interesting video.  Maybe some of you know more about this.  Sounds like the area could be turned back into a reservoir, but a lot of people live there now.  Never lived in California so it wasn't something I was aware of. 

Another video with more current pictures and video.
