Some graphics to help you understand Georgia’s drought-stricken water system
October 24, 2007 at 10:55 am by Thomas Wheatley in NewsAll 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.
