[QUOTE="scratch, post: 260827, member: 1674"] Lake Lanier and Lake Allatoona, two major lakes just north of Atlanta are down about fifteen feet. I live near Sweetwater Creek State Park which has the city of East Points water reservoir, and it is almost dry. The private lakes for the most part are full. There are outdoor water restrictions like Athena mentioned. We have too much growth and our rainfall deficit is about fifteen inches. Some counties are refusing to issue building permits to developers now. We need to build more reservoirs and start conserving better. The Army Corps of Engineers control the flow of water out of Lakes Lanier and Allatoona, it is used to generate electricity, float barges in Alabama, and save those precious mussels in Florida. Our Governor is current fussing with Alabama and Florida about those 3.2 billion gallons of water released every day. [/QUOTE]
