While I'm all for something like halving the high and low to make the lake less trouble for property owners and water activity I wonder how it would affect shoreline erosion.
A big difference if the water changed little, for example, eating away at it in one place every day of the year. And yet Smith Lake moves up and down by so much even half might not matter at all.
Could it be that when rain is likely they let water out to keep sudden rises from happening?
Tropical storm Claudette sure didn't make much rain for the lake but maybe they thought it was going to. Not that I'm defending APC but that's a possible reason for letting water out, and not always needing to do so.
