Lanier's 8-inch rise useless — Three months ago, state and federal water experts warned that Lake Lanier could fall to a depth never intended for the man-made reservoir, jeopardizing metro Atlanta water supplies.
It didn't. But in mid-November, Lanier did surpass its 26-year-old record low and then continued falling through December. The lake's been on a minirebound since, rising about 8 inches.
That's nothing to get excited about, especially since climate forecasters expect the historic drought to keep a chokehold on metro Atlanta through at least April, the longest outlook provided.

Ruling could shake up water wars, hurt Georgia — If the Georgia-Alabama-Florida water wars were a poker game, Georgia's high card might be an agreement it secured in 2003 for rights to about a quarter of the water in Lake Lanier, a huge federal reservoir outside Atlanta.
The agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer, which Alabama and Florida claim is illegal, is the foundation of Georgia's long-term water plans, giving the Atlanta region the water it needs to continue growing as one of the nation's major cities. As a signed pact with the federal government, the deal also puts Georgia in a strong negotiating position with its neighbors.
