Instead of posting such derogatory comments, why not post some real information folks can sink their teeth into and appreciate like as follows. (Now that I have the Excel spreadsheets you sent me from the Corps. )

Base don my callcuation of the historical data to raise Lake Martin 1 foot we need a net inflow of approx 17,000 - cfs.--cubic feet per second

Since the drought variance went into effect on November 22nd per the Corps Excel spreadsheets Martin's inflows and outflows have been as follows through Jan 17, 2008 (Jan 17th is the last data on the spreadsheet):

Inflows - 35,164
Outlfows - 13,874 (avg of 274.75 per day)
Net Inflows - 21,290 cfs.--cubic feet per second

So based on my calucation of needing approx 17,000 CFS to raise the lake 1 foot and based on 21,290 cfs of net inflow the lake should have rinsen by approx 1.25 feet since 11/22. And the lake has risen from 474.6 on 11/22 to 475.9 as of 1/17 or 1.3 feet.

To also further note the outlfows have been 13,874 cfs over a 56 day period or approx 247.75 cfs relased per day on average, which I if am not mistaken is below what was agreed to with the Corps by APCo.

Hope this info helps to shed some light on the overall picture as to why the lake is not rising faster than we would all like.

As we have all said in the past PRAY FOR RAIN !!!!
