the drawn down used to be 30 ft. and before that 50 ft. and the lake refilled every year but one that I am aware of. Plus in those days hydro was used almost exclusively to generate power. 2007 was an exceptional year. Rainfall was off significantly. It was a 100 year drought just like we have 100 year floods, as was the case in 1979 when the dam overflowed. Fact is, when it rains, it fills.

I am in favor of earlier fills and later draw downs, and even higher winter pools, but strictly for recreational and economic reasons. The ability to fill the lake has no bearing on how I feel.

Weather patterns have changed with time affecting when the rains come, but come they do, every year. It has NOTHING to do with the hoax of climate change which used to be global warming, which used to be another ice age coming. Mother Earth has been around about 450 Billion years and the only constant over those billions of years is that the climate has changed.
