Owens Lake was once a full and thriving lake until 1913 until when the water resources were diverted to Los Angeles. The lake dried up and became a major dustbowl and health hazard. Currently water is once again filling some of Owens Lake by springs and streams. A resurgence of migratory waterfowl are once again using parts of the lake as a stopover.
