Both the Tallapoosa and Coosa Rivers feed the Alabama River and Lake Martin is required daily to send downstream a certain amount of water fro navigation and endangered aquatic life.

This is one reason why the lake has been dropping like a rock. The other of course is the drought.

Now with that said Alabama Power (APCo) had sought relief from the Lake Martin downstream requirements back on May 15th.

Since the Governor intervened and Allatoona is required to release additional water into the Coosa, APCo has been able to cut back on the downstream requirements associated with Lake Martin. Therefore per Alabama Power they hope to hold Martin at its current level.

For more info on the above go to the below Lake Martin HOBO URL link and read the articles entitled:
