The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has agreed to the state’s request to send less water into the Chattahoochee River as it winds through metro Atlanta. The Corps agreed Wednesday to release less water from Lake Lanier, at least through the end of this month. The federal agency that operates Lanier already had reduced the flows from the lake for six weeks in March and April, also from a request from the state. The actions have already resulted in Lanier’s levels rising nearly three feet since mid-March.
