What does the public notice say? The only notice I found on their website was for Jordan Dam.

If so, it seems pretty straight forward.....we need some rain.

The message is straight-forward, but the basic problem is the practice of dropping this lake--and this lake only--by over ten feet in the winter. Until that issue is addressed we will always have a potential problem in the Spring.

The water is coming up so slowly now that the army website of the lake level switched on Tuesday from 1 inch intervals to 1/2 inch intervals.

I am assuming that this is a bad sign.

I am down and attempting to have the rain follow. Bad for me personally on the trip but good for the Lake. It is so dry down here. Hoping for torrential rains.

jlazc you need to seed those clouds. Problem is, I have not seen many clouds.

There are severe to extreme drought conditions over the entire Tallapoosa basin, so there is not much chance that we will see 490 this year unless a tropical storm parks over the area for a few days. This is not the first time that this has happened, and one bad year for rain will not keep me off of the lake. As for the winter pool levels, I for one don't mind them so much because I don't want the weeds that the Coosa River lakes that are always full have.
