Lake Lanier Sinks to Lowest Level in Nearly a Decade, Boat Ramps Shut Down

Lake Lanier has dropped to its lowest water level in nearly a decade, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it has no choice but to keep releasing water through Buford Dam even as the lake gets almost no rain to refill it. Atlanta relies on Lake Lanier for drinking water, and with the region stuck in drought, officials have already begun shutting down boat ramps and warning paddlers and boaters to watch for hazards that are normally hidden underwater.

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division declared a statewide drought response level 1 in April, meaning utilities were required to warn residents about the impacts of drought and ways to mitigate them. Now, state officials are taking the next step to keep Atlanta's water system moving. Army Corps to limit reservoir releases The Army Corps of Engineers manages and operates Buford Dam , the dam at the southern end of Lake Lanier, a massive reservoir about an hour north of Atlanta. The Dam and lake are fed by the Chattahoochee River, and the river continues to flow on the south side of the dam all the way down to Florida. When water levels are low in the reservoir,
