So your unsupported opinion has now been raised to the level of truth.
I do find it interesting, though, how you try to make it about me, rather
I do find it interesting that you try to make it about the citizens who live there rather than the officials who caused the problem, not to mention that the COE is releasing water from the dam at foru times the rate it's flowing in. This is the fault of the citizens? Not likely.
Um, by attending planning commission meetings, local and county commission meetings and becoming vocal about issues before
What utter horse manure. By your own admission the fix is in in most of these things. A citizen getting "vocally involved" is just wasting their time unless they're pushing the preferred socialist agenda, and then they serve the role of "useful idiot"
Yes, you did elect them, or rather, your apathy did.
No I didn't elect them. I guess you're not able to do the math, but I'll say it again 99.9% of government bureaucrats are NOT elected.
because the corrupt Atlanta government refused to fix the problem until it became a crisis.
Atlanta government is voted in on a racial basis. The sole function of the Atlanta government is to dispers taxpayer loot to blacks and other friends of the black democrat crooks who run the city, so tell me how Anyone living the the suburbs can affect that. (Yeah, get "vocally involved" - my ass)
Solution: cut the runoff downstream to that which would be coming in after. Don't use the reservoir to keep an artificially high flow rate.
There you go trying to make it about me again. Do some research into the history of the area and get back to me.

Yes, it is the fault of the citizens, or rather their apathy. The citizens of the region agreed to the current deal with the Corps of Engineers BEFORE Lake Lanier was built. Get it? If you don't understand this you need to do some research. The citizens allowed the gubmint officials, both appointed and elected, to let this water issue rise to crisis levels.

Where did I admit that? How do you know you'd be wasting your time? How many county commission meetings have you attended? Tell the truth, now, how many? I attend almost every county commission meeting in my hometown now just to keep an eye on them. It's only a couple of hours out of my month. Do you not do the same?
No I didn't elect them. I guess you're not able to do the math, but I'll say it again 99.9% of government bureaucrats are NOT elected.
And who appoints them?

I am acutely aware of the corruption in the Atlanta city government, as well as MARTA, the Atlanta Regional Planning Commission, the Gwinnett County Commission and others. I ran several businesses in Atlanta and my family ran an auto parts business with the main store on North Avenue in Atlanta. This family business began in 1949 and was sold in 1993. So yeah, I am very familiar with the situation in Atlanta. Obviously more familiar than you are.

The reservoirs are being used for exactly what they were intended to be used for when they were built, that being electricity generation and flood control. Lake Lanier was never, ever intended to be the main source of water for Atlanta and the surrounding 'burbs. Did you ever stop to think that there are other municipalities that also use the Chattahoochee for drinking water? Are you more important than they are? If you restrict downstream flow, what are the folks in Columbus and Lagrange going to do for drinking water? What about the oyster beds in Apalachicola? Drinking water was a secondary use for Lake Lanier, as was recreation. Read the original agreement with the Corps of Engineers and educate yourself. You are woefully uninformed.
