I don't know as I'd blame the Corps. They have legal requirements to keep certain flow rates. Hartwell and Thurmond are below a nuclear power lake (Keowee) and that lake cannot be allowed to drop but 4 or 5 feet. So the two dams below it and the one above Keowee take a big hit during the droughts. Just the way it is.
