CNN had a feature on Lake Lanier this morning. Apparently water levels
are
way, way down, and if there isn't some serious protracted rain soon,
a goodly portion of Georgia will be facing drought.
Meanwhile, the video showed the shorelines of the lake line with dead
shellfish and fish, left behind as the water receded.
What's the impact on boating?
Good thing Waylon doesn't boat much. Shouldn't affect him.
Is Lanier a man made lake?
Looks like it is the result of a riverbed widened into a lake, but I don't
know. Not a place where I'd care to boat. It's a reservoir, which means it
also serves as the area's freshwater supply. Nothing quite like letting
people boat, crap and dump garbage in your drinking water.
Kinda like the Great Lakes. Drank Chicago water for over 50 years and never
had a problem.
