| Tropical Storm Ida Halts Lake Lanier Water Releases | ![]() |

Lake Lanier is already above full pool so the lake is likely to rise further. The situation is exacerbated because the earth around the lake has already been soaked by recent downpours. That means that extra rain is more likely to enter the lake. The Corps' decision may reflect a tough learning experience during the heavy floods of September this year. The Corps was heavily criticised earlier for releasing water from Lake Lanier and possibly adding to the waters that troubled downstream communities.
