The
overall conditions in the Flint Basin and Chattahoochee Basin are
abnormally dry.
Last
week Lake Lanier near Atlanta was about 8.6 feet below full pool.
Other
reservoirs, including West Point and Walter F. George reservoirs, had
water levels above normal.
By
entering drought operations, the minimum flow into
the Apalachicola River becomes 5,000 cubic feet per
second to protect threatened and endangered species.
Current
releases to the Apalachicola River from the Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam
are approximately 12,100 cubic feet per second.
The
Corps will maintain the minimum flow and store all available rainfall
when possible until the basin recovers sufficiently to come out of
drought operations.
