Lake Allatoona The Drought is Critical!

I was out previewing today and had my camaera along when I drove past Lake Allatoona in Cobb and Paulding counites. What we saw was beyond scary, and thought that it was worth taking a few pictures of Lake Allatoona as we drove by. Today was not the best day for photos, it was overcast, and snow flurries which is a rarity in the south. The pictures I took still give you a real view that much of the lake is just a mud flat these days. Lake Allatoona is used for many purposes, hydo power generation, drinking water, recreation etc. I wonder what Atlanta is going to start to do shortly if this drought keeps up? I don't think the situation at Lake Allatoona has a worse case scanario.
