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.

Lake Lanier is an ancient body of water? I thought it was a man-made
lake about 50 years old.

Could be. and I'm probably mistaken I thought it had been around for
practically forever. But still it's established and it wasnt' made
yesterday.

Tim, the project started in 1950. It's a very interesting project. You
have to remember, back in those days, those mountains were out there,
and the people were quite clan-ish and didn't want to be bothered!
It's a beautiful area, especially in summer.

This was a boating thread, about a huge lake in the US.. Why not start
a new thread for your folly?

it's a dried up mudhole. They are idiots, misinformed or liars.

Or not?

Actually, the lake is hosting the largest fishing tournament in the
nation in 2010, the Forrest Wood Cup. Oh, and it's came up a foot
recently! Here's a link about the Cup coming:

Maybe in 2 years things will be OK, but I wouldn't put any eggs in
that basket unless you plan on talking the ACoE into cutting off the
water to all states downstream.... so they can have the tournament.

Lanier is 20 feet low and predicted to go lower! The level is so low
that Action Zone 4 is in effect. IOW, "Zone 4 indicates that
navigation is not supported. Hydropower demands will be met at minimum
level and may only occur for concurrent uses. Water supply and water
quality releases are met. Minimum flow targets are met."http://water.sam.usace.army.mil/lanfc.htmhttp://water.sam.usace.army.mil/zones.htm

And it looks like only two boat ramps are open!http://lanier.sam.usace.army.mil/ParkSchedule.htm

My lake levels are rising, however.....! A benefit of global
warming..... Waterworld?

Gene, they haven't updated since we've been getting rain. Also, the
ramps that you've mentioned are only the Corps ramps. They close them
even though the are still in the water because a lot of people that
use those particular ramps sometimes don't know what they are doing,
have huge boats (even a huge houseboat manufacturer uses them), etc.
Fishings good, people are still running all over, motorboats,
sailboats, everything. Is the lake low? You bet. But, it fluctuates a
lot in winter anyway. And it's not at the record, which is good seeing
how at the end of summer we started out very low.

I'm using Apache and b2evolution.....

Aha! I suspected you were. I'm thinking of converting my desktop machine
into a server, and I might want to contact you for a "tech consult."

Unless you:

1) Have a static IP OR don't mind paying for a Dynamic DNS Service

AND

2) Really *want* an extensive hobby configuring and running Apache

I'd go with one of the Web Hosting services (which also come with lots
of other perks and amenities) and let them worry with the hardware
acquisition and maintenance, software configuration, security
headaches (you'll need a dedicated IP or you'll have to open a port to
the server(s)), and up/down time.

Though I'd be glad to help.....

Yeah...I'm sure you are right.

I do have a windows home server, which I can use as a a generic server,
sort of.
