In the first part of the summer Lake Martin bore the brunt of the discharges to maintain flow in rivers south of the lake. What happened was the Governor of Alabama finally wrote a letter to the Corps of Engineer (COE)complaining about the lack of discharge from several Georgia lakes (i.e., Allatoona, etc.). The COE agreed to increase discharges so Lake Martin could reduce its discharges by 10% or so which is enough to maintain the water level as is. Presumably if we get more rain it is possible that the levels could go up but who knows if that will happen.
