Climate change can result in drought

DRY AS A BONE--November 26, 2012 - Cumming, Ga: A "Slow No Wake," sign is shown far from the water due to low water levels on Lake Lanier at Mary Alice Park Monday afternoon in Cumming, Ga., November 26, 2012. Mary Alice Park is a Corps of Engineers Park whose boat ramp and floating docks are closed due to low water levels. Lake Lanier is at its lowest level since the historic drought of several years ago, when lakeside businesses lost millions in recreation revenue and boaters were unable to launch their crafts. Monday's level was 1,058 feet above sea level, 13 feet below full pool. The last time Lake Lanier was at that level was in March 2009, the last days of the two-year drought that ravaged the state.
