Maverick: Lake Martin size is 44,000 acres with a watershed of 3,000 square miles or 14.76 acres per sq mile of watershed. Alatoona size is 12,000 acres with a watershed of 1,100 sq miles or 10.91 acres per sq mile of watershed. So Allatoona actually has a little larger watershed per acre than Martin, but not significantly larger. Its even more dramatic with Lanier. Lanier is 38,000 acres in size with a watershed of 1,040 sq miles (essentially the same as Allatoona) or 36.54 acres per sq mile of watershed. Combine that small a watershed with the lake of that size and throw in the incredible water demands of the city of Atlanta and the downstream flow requirements and you can see why Lanier is so volatile and sensitive to rainfall.
