Atlanta Water Crisis

[Kitsune]

This is a slightly complicated situation. It is estimated that Atlanta has less than 120 days of drinking water left.

That's three months before there's not enough water for more than 3 million metro Atlantans to take showers, flush their toilets and cook. Three months before there's not enough water in parts of the Chattahoochee River for power plants to make the steam necessary to generate electricity. Three months before part of the river runs dry.

A coal plant that won't pay to lower its intake pipe, lawsuits from Alabama and Florida concerning river depth and boat drafts, USACE accidentally releasing 22 billion gallons of water, endangered river life, and a metro area that depends on a single source of water...it's a mess.

Well, at least Coke won't waste 1 million gallons on making snow.
