This is the Friends Vista Debating Society. I'm John Bachelor. Devonunus, CEO guru of true social,

where the First Amendment is practiced naturally. However, we turn to the story of water. You will

recall we've been following this drama for months. The enormous amount of snow melting in the

springtime and what that means for the San Joaquin Valley, the bread basket of the country,

especially for a phenomena called Tulari Lake. When last we spoke with Devon, Tulari Lake was filling

that the melting was underway, nothing extravagant, but worrisome. Keep an eye on it. Devon, what is

the latest on Tulari Lake? Good evening to you. Great to be with you, John. The latest this week is

that they're starting to see some of the damage that has been done over the years from the aquifer

collapsing where they have what's called subsidence of the ground of the land. So land has dropped.

The elevation has dropped in some places as much as five to ten feet. That's because of

overdrafting of the aquifer. It is because the politicians in California, led by the left,

have not allowed any new dams to be built and do not allow water to be pumped from the

what's called the delta moved through the big aqueducts and into the areas that need the water.

So that caused the communities in this area to overdraft the aquifer, which has done some real

environmental damage. And what they're seeing now in this old lake basin is that historically when

we had the last flooding in 98 and then also back in 1983, there's new low spots. And so places

that didn't flood before have flooded. So I actually learned that from some of my farmer friends that

I've known for years that the area I haven't been out there in so long, but I know the area from

growing up and working out there that there's there's almost new low spots to the lake because of

the subsidence. So that's the latest. The snow melt is the temperatures are average, which is good

because it's allowing for a normal snow melt. They are draining the reservoirs as quickly as

possible. So you have what's called the Kings River, the mighty Kings River, which is the largest
