Just for curiosity, I've wondered aboutt he ecological shift that
Lanier has taken this past year. Draught and high temps. PLUS draining
that large of a body of water can't be that good on the local
environment.

With such a less amount of water, what water is there would be much
hotter due to less volume, not counting the bed of the lake being
exposed to the suns rays and heat. And seeing that the AC of E
controlled a massively huge draining of the lake, is it possible that
there has been damage done to the soil concerning algae growth, fish
population etc. That ancient body of water took quite a shock last
year, and I was wondering about damage and if any, is it irreparable?

just curious.
