NEW YORK — Farmers in one of the most prominent agricultural communities in the country will likely be living an underwater nightmare for the foreseeable future.
Central California's Tulare Lake is filled past the brim, but with the blessings of an ample water supply also comes a curse: spillage that experts say could continue to drown fields and roadways for years to come. The flooding has left farmland, streets and properties under several feet of water.
The flooding has also overtaken roadways, shops and homes around the region, displacing many residents in Tulare and Kings Counties. The water is expected to take up to two years to recede, Robinson said. "Price will be affected because availability will be affected -- the number of products on a store shelf," he said.
The images of floodwaters in the Tulare Lake Basin are in stark contrast to the nearly bone-dry reservoir that subsisted off minimal precipitation for several years on end, and the change happened fast. While satellite images from Feb. 1 show a lake bed barely filled with water, images taken just three months later show water spilling over the edges of the lake.
