Default Lake Lanier drying up?

considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

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?


Looks like it is getting tough on the Great Lakes, too....

Well, I am not going to let them come down to Lake Lanier and use our
water, that is for sure.
