Water report blames the drought on Atlanta’s growth


A report is expected today from state conservation groups that largely blames the drought on excessive growth in the area.  They admit that the lack of rain is obviously the primary cause, but feel that growth in the area has been a major factor.

While Gov. Sonny Perdue denies that growth is the cause, the fact that Paulding County has temporarily banned rezoning seems to speak otherwise.
