Georgia doesn’t deserve the blame for the current crisis. The Corps dumped an extra 22 billion gallons by “accident” in 2006. If they had compensated for it by reducing the releases to amounts more appropriate to a drought situation, we would have another 3 or 4 months of supply by now. Instead they are protecting the mussels.
Only three or four more months of water?
Why is Atlanta in this situation in the first place? Does the region’s water plan for the future consist soley of telling the Corps when to release what from Lake Lanier?
If it weren’t for Congress and the Corps, there wouldn’t be a Lake Lanier in the first place.
