While the SoCal guys have been fighting the fires out west, us here in the metro Atlanta area are battling a quieter but potentially sticky dilemma... the lack of H2O due to the drought! And here's what it looks like from the air. The pictures below are of Lake Lanier which supplies the majority of the drinking water for us. It's just a very short hop from my home base of LZU.
Estimates are between 80 - 100 days of water left for us left depending on who you want to believe. What's for sure is the Army Corps of Engineers under direction from a federal judge are releasing TONS of water each second to ensure the fresh water mussels in Florida can live on. So the governors of GA, AL and FL are duking it out in various political and judicial circles. Just thought I'd share some pics of our lake!
