Further Readings
I stumbled upon this idea because my dog and I spend almost every afternoon playing in Lake Hartwell. My dad remembers hearing stories from his aunts and uncles about how the weather patterns changed near Belton, South Carolina after the Lake Hartwell was built. So, I wanted to find out more. The immense amount of data I aquired for this project is simply too much to include in an exhibit like this. If you're like me and are absoutley fascinated by this information, I highly reccommend you consult the following sources. They were extreamly helpful to me, and I offer my sincirest thanks to the information below:
