News Some graphics to help you understand Georgia's drought-stricken water system
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Wed, Oct 24, 2007 at 3:55 PM
All the talk of "conservation pools" and "basins" can be difficult to understand without some accompanying visuals. The PDF file below of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River system from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may be a little help. It also includes some photos of dams and water levels at other lakes and reservoirs along the system -- I can't tell if that's grass or algae sprouting on West Point's lake bed.
To see what I was talking about yesterday when I explained that in 110 days we'll hit the bottom of that conservation pool -- but not the bottom of the lake -- take a look at slide 18.

Hell's Bell Curve, Thomas! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution It's raining cats and dogs down here right now. Our soon to be outgoing Mayor wants to "give?" water to Shirley for the ATL Airport:. http://www.macon.com/198/story/168075.html Doesn't she already have the concessions? Is there such a word as enough anymore?
