An editorial in the Atlanta Journal Constitution caught my eye this morning. The author says that Atlanta's water use is basically negligible when one looks at the entire river system. Maybe it is. But at the speed at which Atlanta keeps adding suburbs, it might not be forever.

I also found this line funny " This example highlights the way in which our downstream neighbors have attempted to influence the court of public opinion in hopes of securing a favorable outcome in the tri-state litigation. The metro Atlanta region, in contrast, has taken a different approach. We have countered sound bites with clarifications, and we have used such opportunities to educate people on the facts." This from the state that tried to make the debate "People vs mussels". You can read the article HERE
