why have they been releasing so much water from morgan falls lately?

maybe Florida is asking for more flow again?

Discharge rates at Morgan Falls is quite high. And downstream by JOhnson Ferry is high. Also water is turbid. Does that happen due to the amount of water moving down river?

What happens to all that water between there and Columbus? West Point Lake is only down a few feet (50 miles north of us), and Bartlett's Ferry (lake Harding) , Goat Rock reservoir, and Lake Oliver, all right at Columbus on the Chattahoochee are all near full pool. Maybe it's evaporating or getting used for irrigation.
Thanks!
