Atlanta area reservoirs near the dead zone amid drought
Atlanta area water supplies face extreme drought as Lake Lanier and Allatoona dip toward a dead zone with low oxygen and decaying matter. Cities plan stronger treatment, ozonation, dredging, and chemical purchases to keep taps flowing for northern suburbs and Gwinnett Forsyth and other counties. Authorities warn Lanier could fall under 80 days’ supply. Corps estimates 120 days including the dead pool. Washington weighs possible emergency steps.
