Perdue: Feds Draining Too Much From Lake Allatoona
POSTED: 9:00 am EDT July 20, 2007

ATLANTA -- Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue responded Thursday to the Alabama governor's request for more water from Lake Allatoona in an ongoing dispute involving the two states.
Perdue said the federal government is already releasing too much water from Lake Allatoona. He said Alabama Gov. Bob Riley's request for higher releases would drain Lake Allatoona and give Alabama little drought relief.
Perdue made the comments in a letter to U.S. Army Secretary Pete Geren. Perdue said because of the drought, officials must be careful not to deplete the storage in Lake Allatoona.
Georgia and Alabama have waged a legal battle since 1990 over the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa River Basin that flows from northwest Georgia to Mobile Bay in Alabama. A federal judge in Birmingham, Ala., is overseeing the case.
The two states along with Florida are involved in a fight over the water in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin. Water in it flows from North Georgia to Apalachicola Bay in Florida.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates Lake Allatoona, which runs through Cobb, Bartow and Cherokee counties on the Etowah River.
Riley has said the Corps has "shortchanged" his state 18 billion gallons of water from Allatoona.
The Corps said Allatoona can hold about 120 billion gallons.
Perdue said the Corps has sent 8.4 billion gallons of water downstream to Alabama since June from Allatoona and Carters Lake, a smaller reservoir on the Coosawatee River.

Water flow downstream has been maintained at the expense of AL lakes and Ga lakes have not been releasing their "fare share".

I drove over the Coosa River at 5PM and it was at least 1-1.5' higher than last week. Hope the reverse is happening at Martin Dam!
