LAKES LEVEL

WHERE WOULD LAKE
LEVELS BE IF ________?
Saturday, July 21, 2012
If you ask anyone
why our lakes are so low they will respond
that it is because we are in a severe
drought. But that is not the whole story by
any means. Over a year ago Save Our Lakes Now
recommended to the Corps that we drop release
rates on Lake Thurmond to 3600 cfs or we would
be looking at low lake levels in the near
future. We even did a quick spot on Channel 6
News with this warning. Now, more than a year
later I thought it would be interesting to
look back and see where we would be now had
the Corps followed our advice.In May of
last year when Lake Thurmond dropped below
328' the release rates would have been dropped
to 3600cfs following our advice. Instead the
Corps averaged about 4800cfs until August and
the lake dropped 3' to 325'. Had they dropped

ABOUT
SaveOurLakesNow.org |
Corps is Destroying Our Lakes & Economy!
In past several years, it has become
apparent that our lakes MUST be managed in a different manner.
 The
current method used by the U.S. Army Corps Of Engineers of managing
the lakes of the Savannah River Basin is simply not working! Low
lake levels are destroying our fish & wildlife, natural resources,
recreation, and especially our local economy and property values
around the lakes. Even the river is being put in jeopardy because
acceptable river flows could no longer be maintained without the
protection of adequate water in the lakes.
Therefore, it is of vital importance that
you call your Congressman or Senator and ask them to ACT NOW in
changing the way our lake levels are managed. NOTHING will change
without YOU becoming proactive with this issue that affects us ALL.
Learn! Act! And make a difference!
