Good News For Atlanta: Water Rising In Lake Lanier

Banks may be closing; jobs may be slipping; but, at least substantial winter rains have returned to Atlanta, as is normal. The refilling of Atlanta's drinking water reservoir (Lake Lanier) comes following almost two years of regional drought, periodic emergency conservation measures, people painting dead grass green, and an ongoing Federal lawsuit involving allocation of states' water rights.

As of 5:30 Sun 14th Lake Lanier is up more than 12 inches at 51.99 ft. A level last seen on Nov 9th. With more rise possible during the coming week. Rain is possible nearly every day during the coming week.
