Can someone help me understand something w/r/t this variance? I think I understand the impact on the rules for the allowable levels, so that's not my question.

As far as I can tell neither this nor any of the other actions recently do anything to decrease the minimum required releases at Martin dam (irrespective of the levels) or to increase the releases upstream anywhere. I realize that much of the Atlanta battle deals with the Coosa system, but is there anything other than allowing an increase in the target levels that has happened that will have a material impact on actually achieving those levels?

I get that we need rain, and lots of it. It just seems that until that starts, the level may continue to drop, and if we're still having to release enough to maintain some set downstream flow or levels due to the outcomes of deals in GA or FL, the impact of this rule change may be seriously diluted.

Any insight on all this?
