WooferBearATL Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yeah, the Fountains at Centennial Commons have been shut down for months. They told the Martin Luther King Center to shut their fountains as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I don't live in Atlanta, so there's my qualifications for this statement; but hasn't Atlanta since November been on a more "regular" rainfall pattern? Not sure that any deficit has been recaptured, but if they didn't close them last year during the height of the drought- why would they choose to close things when the drought is retreating? Like I said, I don't live there, don't know what the conditions are. here in Cincinnati the lake at the front of our subdivision entrance was about 2 foot down in September.... As of this morning it was frozen at the top of the banks. So I would assume our drought is over- though I think since Jan. 1 2007 we're still a few inches shy of "normal."

We really don't have any evidence of the drought ending. The drought is expected to continue at least the remainder of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 And it is so far from now over, Georgia is considering drought school for residents. Honest! http://www.watertechonline.com/news.asp?N_ID=69066 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
