Every year as the lake level bottoms out around 823' I wonder what the 17' of lake water level is in gallons to take it back to full pool.

Obviously there is shorline creep so it isn't straight 17' down from full pool shore line, but has to be an incredibly staggering amount of water for the lake to add back 17' depth.

With the concerns on water usage and shortfalls in parts of the world always has seemed crazy to purposefully drain that much water out of so many lakes each year.
