Dropping Wedowee won't help us anyway as it is not on the Coosa or Tallapoosa rivers. The only reservoir upstream of Martin is Harris and it is almost 3 feet below full pool so it seems that they are lowering it only slightly less than Martin. They really don't have any choice on the run of the river reservoirs unless they ask for a variance to increase flows. Again that would only help us if it is a river on the Coosa. Our problem is we and the Coosa are the main sources to the ALabama River and there are some flow requirements that they use stored water to meet. Store more water in the winter, hold onto it more in the spring and early summer and try to reduce demand in the Alabama River, all will help to maintain levels in Martin. How to do this is another question.
