  14. Georgia Reservoirs

  15. La Niña and Lake Lanier Inflows * Note: Inflows based on data from the Corps Of Engineers calculated inflow values

  16. La Niña and Lake Lanier Inflows

  21. La Niña and Lake Lanier Inflows

  22. Conclusion: • Last several years…deficits in rainfall during recharge period into Summer accentuating water resource concerns • La Niña typically means lower streamflows and lower inflows in Lake Lanier but not always (likely but not 100%) • Water Supply Issues of obvious concern into 2011
