Hey Sam, other than obvious volume difference, is there any more info to be had in those two pics? The dark area in the first pic is the drain field, is that showing moisture or density?
 I will be going back down there when it dries out boring more sample holes & sharing that info with everybody & just like you, taking flak from from the egomaniac's.

Sid,
  The USGS site calls it " Surface Reflectance Data".
It's all explained better at http://landsatlook.usgs.gov

The way I read these images is deep blue is standing water, and light blue is salt.

There is data from 1972 (Landsat 1) to present.
All free.

Interesting to see the latest image that shows where the water is not. If that's the pumping I'm seeing there, it's only spreading about 200 yards out from the dyke & extending all the way to their canal at the floating mountain end of the flats & around to the drain under the freeway back to the plant, no benefit to either of the long courses. That leaves my opinion of the current pumping program unchanged.
You can't fill up the bucket if it has a big hole in the bottom, all you're doing is rinsing it out.
