Lake Oroville has been the site of intense environmental resistance since it was first discovered in 1922. In the 1990s, the Army Corps of Engineers declared the reservoir a national historical site.

Lake Oroville reservoir's level peaked at 27,400 feet in September of 2005. It dropped to an average of 6,200 feet by December of 2010 due to the prolonged drought. The reservoir is now at 17,000 feet, where it stands in the middle of two reservoirs: one in Kern County at 10,000 feet, and another nearby on Mount Carmel.

Tigers rest cousins for freo clash Read more

It is no secret that the Tigers are among the greatest underdogs in the NRL competition, with only five teams currently holding first place, but they were always going to be among the favourites. It is also no secret that they are one of the league's favourites, and if they can avoid defeat at Wests Tigers on Monday night they will have every opportunity to claim a fifth title for the club.

So while they will be missing one of the two leaders in their own forward pack in David Gower, Jack Redpath and Ben Hannant, while Adam Reynolds will miss three games with a fractured hand and Jack Bird is suspended for four matches with a hamstring injury and another suspension will be imposed on fullback Chris McQueen for two years after breaching club and match rules, the Tigers are also without All-Australian halves Shaun Fensom and Benji Marshall, and their halves, Jordan Rankin and Trent Merrin, are also out.

But there are some players that could see significant playing time this week.

Ricky Stuart has said in the past that he would like to see Mitchell Pearce continue with his 10-week suspension for conduct detrimental to the game imposed by the NRL tribunal, but there has been talk that his absence could be for the sake of his own personal health, after all he is at the top of his game, and has won the most finals for the club in his 11 seasons at the club.

Pearce has been training with his club teammates for several weeks now.
