	Tulare Lake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tulare Lake was a large shallow lake in the southern portion of the California Central Valley, about forty miles south of Fresno, that existed over one hundred years ago and presumably thousands of years before that.
		The lake dried up over the course of a few decades as the Kaweah, Kern, Kings and Tule rivers, were diverted upstream and canals were built to drain the lake.
		In fact, aggressive groundwater pumping since the draining of the lake has resulted in a significant lowering of the water table, causing subsidence of the land.

		Julius Jacobs wrote in his The Story of Kings County that millions of fish were still breeding in the lake at the end of the 1890s and that sometimes they could be "shoveled up by the very tubful." Those varieties which were not particularly good eating were cooked and fed to the pigs.
		The tules and other grasses that grew so thickly around the lake made it an ideal habitat for ducks, geese, plover, snipe and curlew which the sportsmen were able to bag by the hundreds and thousands.

	Painting FFSd0575: On Tulare Lake
		Tulare Lake was the largest fresh-water lake in California, at the southern end of the Central Valley, covering most of present-day Kings County, California.
		Despite the title having been applied to the painting in the artist's own hand, people who are familiar with the topography of the basin surrounding Tulare Lake are skeptical that there was ever a view that resembles the one in the painting.
		The conifers at the water's edge are not typical of vegetation for the area, and the lake shore shows little evidence of a lake whose extent depends on the latest year's rainfall.

		Small col- lectious of birds were made at Summit Lake, at various points aloug the northern and western shores of Tulare Lake from east of the mouth of Kings River to the mouth of Kern River, along Buena Vista Slough and at Buena Vista Lake.
		The lake waters in spreading had moistened or partially submerged thousands of acres of land on which a rank new growth of tules and coarse grasses was springing up, affording unusually favorable breeding grounds for birds.
		This lake was a place of unexpected natural beauty, its floating peat islands and gracefully overhanging banks of bright green foliage contrasting strongly with the summer aridity of the neighboring San Joaquin plains.

		Unfortunately, the grebes were ill and very stressed, as they were stranded in the East Haciendo Reservoir (an irrigation storage reservoir in the Tulare Lake Basin) which was being drained for irrigation, trapping grebes that were unable to fly due to a combination of molting and poor feather condition.
		Last year, 3,000 grebes died in the Tulare Lake Basin, associated with lowered water levels for irrigation and subsequent die-offs of fish.

		The Tulare Lake Region includes the southern San Joaquin Valley from the southern limit of the San Joaquin River watershed to the crest of the Tehachapi Mountains.
		Productive aquifers with good quality water are the general rule, except in the Tulare Lake area where lakebed clays yield little water, along the extreme eastern edge of the region where shallow depth to granite limits aquifer yields, and along the western side where water quality is poor.
		One of the most important issues in the Tulare Lake Region is whether to allow growth and development to continue at its current rate and location or restrict urban development to preserve prime agricultural land, wetlands, and other wildlife habitat.

		Buena Vista Lake shrews could be directly exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations of pesticides from drift or direct spraying of crops, canals and ditch banks, wetland or riparian edges, and roadsides where shrews might exist.
		Fresno, Kern, and Tulare counties are the three highest users of pesticides in California with 16,773,126 kilograms (kg) (36,978,444 pounds (lb)); 10,985,201 kg (24,218,242 lb); and 7,562,064 kg (16,671,512 lb) of pesticide active ingredients used respectively in 1999 (Pesticide Board 2000).
