I for one would rather keep the levels at a more constant level, but I'm also a realist, and know that the number one reason for the creation of this lake was power generation. Whether it's from generating power at the dam through the turbines, or from the flow downstream to cool the Gorgas plant, that's the reason for the millions spent by Alabama Power. One also has to look at the minimum downstream levels mandated by the Corps of Engineers for navagation. This isn't as simple as SLISA or anyone else makes it out to be. I don't believe that Alabama Power is the bad person here. When I searched for my property at Smith Lake, I became well informed as to the water level fluctuations, and bought accordingly. During last years record drought, I still had over 15 ft of water below my dock, so researching what I bought prior to taking the plunge, paid off. I just think that people need to look at the WHOLE picture here, and stop the name calling.
