Based on some quick calcs: (Same info as Martin so folks can compare)

Based on my calculation of the historical data to raise Wedowee 1 foot they need a net inflow of approx 4,000 - cfs.--cubic feet per second (or 325% less inflow than Martin requires, based on acreage of both lakes this is reasonable)

Since the drought variance went into effect on November 22nd per the Corps Excel spreadsheets Wedowee's inflows and outflows have been as follows through Jan 17, 2008 (Jan 17th is the last data on the spreadsheet):

Inflows - 25,796
Outlfows - 6,780 (avg of 121.07 per day)
Net Inflows - 19,016 cfs.--cubic feet per second

So based on my calculation of needing approx 4,000 CFS to raise Wedowee 1 foot and based on 19,016 cfs of net inflow the lake should have rinsen by approx 4.75 feet since 11/22. And Wedowee has risen from 780.2 on 11/22 to 785.3 as of 1/17 or 1.3 feet.

Hope this info helps to shed some light on the overall picture as to why Wedowee is up 5 feet and Martin is not.

Disclaimer: These are simple calculations and do not take into account the numerous variables which would be required to calc the exact numbers. So this data should not be relied on in any form or fashion - LOL.
