Just for curiosity, I've wondered aboutt he ecological shift that

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.- Hide quoted text -

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.
