The first economic casualty… If faucets truly do go dry, it’s Katrina II all over again only sans hurricane this time.
There may not be solutions to the Lanier problem but there are alternative solutions to the PROBLEM. The problem is not Lake Lanier, the problem is a reliable water source. Possible solutions: Wells; Pipeline from Great Lakes; Desalinization, etc. The Lake is gone and may never recover if releases continue. So, solutions are needed for the problem and not Lanier. And, prayer vigils are not going to re-fill the lake. We only have a couple months to get meaningful actions in place and those with the resources and power and budgets are praying and not planning!! People need to stop focusing on rain and Lake Lanier - the world is 80% water, it’s time to get creative. Water is not the issue, creativity is what’s lacking.
