Water is not discharged from Martin Dam when the turbines are not in operation or spill gates are not raised. As posted earlier, there is modest leakage from the dam as with all dams.

The continuous minimum flow requirement downstream at Thurlow is met mostly from pulses from Yates and intervening inflows from Tallapoosa's tributaries below Martin. Keep in mind the minimum flow requirement this year has been cut back for drought mitigation.

Normal minimum flow requirement from Thurlow is 1200cfs continuous discharge but this year it was throttled back to around 350cfs. There's about a 600cfs flow now due to pulses from Yates dam and trib inflows.

No need to rile up any grandfathers over this.
