About: Tulare Lake

An Entity of Type: Dry lake, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Tulare Lake (/tʊˈlɛəri/) (Spanish: Laguna de Tache, Yokuts: Pah-áh-su) is a freshwater dry lake with residual wetlands and marshes in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California, United States. After Lake Cahuilla disappeared in the 17th century, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River and the second-largest freshwater lake entirely in the United States (as parts of the Great Lakes belong to Canada), based upon surface area. A remnant of Pleistocene-era Lake Corcoran, Tulare Lake dried up after its tributary rivers were diverted for agricultural irrigation and municipal water uses.

  • Der Tulare Lake war ein See im südlichen San Joaquin Valley im heutigen Kings County in Kalifornien. Bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert war er der Fläche nach der zweitgrößte Süßwassersee (nach dem Michigansee), der vollständig in den Vereinigten Staaten lag. Als seinen Zuläufen immer mehr Wasser für die wachsenden Städte und zur Bewässerung landwirtschaftlicher Flächen entnommen wurde, trocknete er aus. Sein Name leitet sich von tule rush ab, der englischen Bezeichnung der Teichbinsenart Schoenoplectus acutus, die an seinen sumpfigen Ufern wuchs, und ist Namensgeber des Tulare County, aus dem Kings County 1893 ausgegliedert wurde.

  • Tulare Lake (/tʊˈlɛəri/) (Spanish: Laguna de Tache, Yokuts: Pah-áh-su) is a freshwater dry lake with residual wetlands and marshes in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California, United States. After Lake Cahuilla disappeared in the 17th century, Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River and the second-largest freshwater lake entirely in the United States (as parts of the Great Lakes belong to Canada), based upon surface area. A remnant of Pleistocene-era Lake Corcoran, Tulare Lake dried up after its tributary rivers were diverted for agricultural irrigation and municipal water uses. The lake was named for the tule rush (Schoenoplectus acutus) that lined the marshes and sloughs of its shores. The lake was part of a 13,670-square-mile (35,400 km2) partially endorheic basin, at the south end of the San Joaquin Valley, where it received water from the Kern, Tule, and Kaweah Rivers, as well as from southern distributaries of the Kings. It was separated from the rest of the San Joaquin Valley by tectonic subsidence and alluvial fans extending out from Los Gatos Creek in the Coast Ranges and the Kings River in the Sierra Nevada. Above a threshold elevation of 207 to 210 feet, it overflowed into the San Joaquin River. This happened in 19 of 29 years from 1850 to 1878. No overflows occurred after 1878 due to increasing diversions of tributary waters for agricultural irrigation and municipal water uses, and by 1899, the lake was dry except for residual wetlands and occasional floods. Tulare Lake was the largest of several similar lakes in its lower basin. Most of the Kern River's flow first went into Kern Lake and Buena Vista Lake via the Kern River and Kern River Slough southwest and south of the site of Bakersfield. If they overflowed, it was through the Kern River channel northwest through tule marshland and , into Tulare Lake. (en)
  • Tulare Lake was een groot zoetwatermeer in het zuiden van de San Joaquin Valley in de Amerikaanse staat Californië. Het meer lag op een hoogte van 56 meter boven zeeniveau. Het meer had doorgaans geen uitlaat, maar verloor water door evaporatie en ondergrondse stromen naar de San Joaquin in het noorden. (nl)
