Welcome:  The southeastern U.S. remains in a long-term drought. This lack of rain impacts everyone – agriculture, recreation, wildlife, state and local governments and individuals. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which manages federal reservoirs in the region, is responding to the drought through a comprehensive plan to balance the water needs of users throughout all affected river basins.
 
The Corps cannot end the drought, but our professionals work closely with local governments and other federal agencies to ensure fair treatment to all users of the reservoirs and dams along the rivers. Water managers and other specialists must balance the many, often competing, needs of the users of these lakes and rivers. During any drought, this balance is critical and difficult.
