We have lived on Lake Lanier for 15 years. The ups and downs used to be trackable in 4 year cycles until the last 7 years or so. I know there are multiple factors impacting the levels, including changes in management, drought, usage, water wars, etc. But the one thing I cannot understand is this: traveling south to Florida over the last few years it seems the tributaries are always bank full even when Lanier is dropping to record low levels and the Atlanta area is on full outdoor water ban.

Several years ago I started monitoring the lake level site at http://www.srh.noaa.gov/ffc/html/rrm.php paying particular attention to the level of West Point, which I think is the first largest pool receiving water from Lanier. Right now, today, West Point is above full pool, even as Lanier seems to be struggling to maintain the tiny increase from all this rain we have had.

I don't get it.
