It's not just that we should conserve, but we need more resources. A very small water shed feeds Lanier. It can't continue to be the water source for 3 states, plus the growth in N. GA..
Florida and Alabama need to create desalination plants and pipe water where need. So should GA., plus build more reservoirs and manage water constructively...not for endangered mussels. Let's get "REAL".
A friend of mine shared how they live on the islands where they have to buy water. The use water for drinking and sparingly for flushing and showers. It would force people to conserve if they had to pay for it. When it comes to that It should be a fair system where everyone would pay and not allow any abuse of the system.
Unfortunately, the Corps has exasperated our drought by sending record amounts of water out of Ga, where God sent it, to FL, where they don't need it, or conserve it.
