About Grey Water useage, its Illegal in Ga. Exceptions: Grey Water contains harmfull bacteria, Filter and Treat if used in open atmosphere, can only be strored for 24 hours before more treatment again, only a small amount of water is saved for toilets only, the rest is diverted back to the sewer. Who is going to monitor the treatment needed to keep water safe? This concept is nothing buy a big cost factor with no positive outcome.

I wonder if that has ever been done before where a state actually opposes a disaster being declared in another state? I certainly haven’t ever heard of it.

How about a forum category for ideas to solve the problem both short term and long term? We have a lot of finger pointing but solutions are thin. I would like to hear more ideas.

Imagine an Atlanta out of water. Riots downtown, Fires with no water to put them out, buckets of sewage dumped in the streets or hallways of buildings. Sanitation nonexistant. Second buning of Atlanta with thousands dead.

I remember watching Katrina coming in and hearing about New Orleans being under sea level. This is slowly coming at us and could be as bad or a hundred times worse than Katrina was in New Orleans.

The difference is that the government has the ability to stop this disaster. Not only can they stop it, they are actively bringing it about by releasing tremendous amounts of water from Lanier to support wildlife and power generation. The priorities are backward. Human life has to come first.

With babelfish it’ll probably be tough to read, but at least we can have some idea of what he said.

The interview went well. It was about 45 minutes of standard stuff: “Are people in Atlanta scared?”, ” What’s going to happen?”, “What do you think caused it?”, etc.

The only downer is that he said that while it’ll certainly be in the paper in Japan (and on their site), it probably won’t make it onto their US site. I’ll probably link to the Japanese story when it comes out, but I won’t be able to read it very well.
