This July 16, 2005 photo shows the mostly dry bed of Owens Lake, near Lone Pine, Calif., seen from the flanks of the eastern Sierra Nevada. The lake, which dried up when the Owens River was diverted to the Los Angeles Aqueduct in the early 20th century, is expected to be flooded by 200,000 acre-feet of runoff from a massive snowpack in the Eastern Sierra that is predicted to exceed the capacity of the entire aqueduct system.
