And we wish you would use a little common sense, and realize that it's not surface area that matters most in this argument, but volume. The lakes you mention are considerably shallower than Lake Martin. So, a equitable drawdown affects them much more than it does us.

Think of it this way: you have two lakes that have exactly the same amount of acreage, in exactly the same shape. So, from above, they are identical. But one of them has an average depth of 100 feet, while the other has an average depth of one foot. According to the "logic" that you are using, taking one foot's worth of water from each will affect each exactly the same. But if you apply common sense, you instead will see that one lake will be one foot lower, while the other lake will be completely dry. Are they still the same now? No? Even though they had the same amount of water taken?

But maybe you already know this, and all you are concerned about is you getting what you want, and to h#ll with anybody else.
