The is not meant to say I like the idea, just workin' with 88 as requested.
FTB,

Not to pick on you but Lake Lanier's size is roughly 38,000 acres.

Lakes, reservoirs, etc. capacity is measured in "acre feet" (which is the amount of water contained in one acre, one foot deep). Lanier's water capacity is 1,957,000 acre feet. One acre foot is roughly 325,000 gallons.

It's a lot of water!
