A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official says the water level at Lake Lanier is less severe than has been claimed.

Corps' operations project manager Jonathan Davis, says the lake has reserves to meet critical needs for the next several months, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report.

Davis, speaking at the Alpharetta Rotary Club, said the lake has over three months worth of water, according to the report.

The state, for its part, today filed suit in a Florida federal court against the Corps. Click here for more GPB News coverage of the water crisis.
