News Brother, can you spare a sip of water?

The water news isn't getting any better.
Florida's director of the Department of Environmental Protection has sent a letter to the Army Corps of Engineers complaining about the reduced flow from Lake Lanier.
The Corps reduced the flow of water out of the lake Nov. 16. Now, Florida is complaining that reduction has caused an increase in salt levels in Apalachicola Bay — where the Chattahoochee River flows into the Gulf of Mexico — and is already killing oysters.
Meanwhile, the Corps of Engineers predicts Lake Lanier will drop another foot by the end of the month.
