Problem is the Corps is so backwards and inflexible, that they don't think to slow downstream rates from Hartwell even though there is a drought upstream. They would have you believe that they have "legal" requirements for flow rates, but in most cases those rates can be slowed during a drought. The rates on the Alabama River were cut by 10%, then by another 50%, and, in fact, were stopped altogether on Lake Martin. And would you believe the Corps never accepted the 50% reduction imposed by Alabama Power, even though it saved major problems on out lakes. Don't drink the Corps Koolaid.
