There have post put here about the drought in the Upstate of South Carolina. This drought along with the Army Corp. of Engineers continuing to release water from the lake has caused the lake level to drastically fall this year. The only time it has been at this level was when it was filling up after construction. Since most of the water used for consumption in a large portion of the Upstate comes from Lake Hartwell mandatory water restrictions have been imposed causing the ability to pressure wash to be very limited.
As you can see from the pictures in the slide show it is not good for the boating business either. Every boat ramp on the lake has been closed. The lake has receded well beyond the ramps anyway.
Turn you sound on and click on the link above to see what the lake looks like near Clemson, SC.
