haha thanks fellas
its raining a little today ... but our 2 lakes, which are our 2 main sources of water for an entire metro area of more than 4 million people, are anywhere between 7-10 feet below normal levels
sadly we need almost hurricane levels of rain
according to news sources we have about 4-6 month water supply from the lakes
More than a billion gallons of water is released from Lake Lanier every day. The Corps of Engineers bases its water releases on two requirements: The minimum flow needed for a coal-fired power plant in Florida and mandates to protect two mussel species in a Florida river.Florida
