The state of the Federal Reservoirs in Georgia is as follow (from Drought Monitoring Status. Presented by Water Resources and Hydrological Analysis Unit - Georgia EPD on September 27, 2007):
• Lanier (Atlanta's primary water source) and West Point are in Zone 4 (bottom zone in conservation storage) as of September 27, 2007
• W.F. George just a foot from inactive pool
• ACF system has only 47% of storage left as of September 27, 2007
• Allatoona is in Zone 2 (bottom zone in conservation pool)
• Carters elevation at 1053.2 feet as of September 25, 2007, a low record for this time of the year
• Hartwell and Thurmond expected to reach Level 3 mid-December
So it would be cool if we could stop sending the little water we have left to help protect mussels and sturgeon in Florida and keep it here, otherwise we'll all have to switch to this:
by the end of this year (though I'm sure the guys working in the building across the street would be really happy about this).For more information: College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Georgia
