Those two lakes are very small and very shallow, and they're fed by the lakes from Georgia -- Allatoona and Carters--the Corps is cutting back their flows to conserve.

To better understand the situation let me explain that the dredge is located downstream from the last dam on the Alabama River, the Claiborne Dam. To float the dredge the Corps releases water from the dam which flows down, temporarily raises the river,floats the dredge then flows into the Gulf of Mexico via the Mobile River and Mobile Bay. Problem is when that water is released from Claiborne Dam it's gone--Alabama has lost it forever.

They can easily wait until rains come to naturally float the barge. The Corps has released a study that shows that the flow rate into the Alabama River can be reduced by over 20% with no damage to anyone.
They won't reduce the flow because of the dredging--jobs lost none.
