I dont't think anyone was bashing Riley. While it may be true that if he had acted earlier the drop in water levels would be less than we have seen but I for one am grateful that he acted at all. You are exactly right that if he hadn't sent that letter we would be in the mid-470s, especially since the drought has deepened in August. Hindsight is 20/20 and no one should blame him for the extreme drought....it could have eased up in late July and water levels would be up and all this would be moot, but that didn't happen. I don't know much about the spring drop as a result of power generation but APCO operates the dam per its FERC permit and if it called for power generation then thats what they do.
