Maintaining a smaller version of the lake could potentially solve the subsidence problem and restore the ecosystem. Learn about Lake Tulare's past and future in this interesting article by Peter Moyle: https://t.co/zYCCme8OxV
@UCDavisWater#LakeTulare#SierraNevada#climatechange
How did Lake Tulare (once the largest lake west of the Mississippi River) disappear? Due to a record snowpack, the lake is expected to return bigger than ever in 2023. Groundwater over-pumping during droughts has led to subsidence in the Tulare basin.
In the Indus Basin, 300 million people rely on snow & glacier melt for their livelihoods. Analyzing water samples collected by citizen scientists revealed that 85% of streamflow comes from meltwater. @KinarNicholas @afiasalam@pmdgov https://t.co/T1P1RB0w94
By utilizing forecast-informed reservoir operations and managed aquifer recharge, additional capacity can be provided to manage incoming inflows and improve water supply reliability in the future.
