New Georgia water plan in place, but don’t expect action anytime soon
As reported by Watercrunch, Georgia’s General Assembly ratified a new statewide water plan. Some notable pieces:
- 11 water planning districts will be created
- It will be about a year before they’re up and running
- The cost for this effort is estimated around $36 million
- The amended budget includes:
- $40 million for reservoirs and other needs
- $500K for upgrades to 20 dams

40 million is not much money to build dams. Oh well Gov. Perdue has other issues he would rather work on.

Has anybody seen any plan in place to deal with massive water shortages, next summer, if heavy rains fail to fall this spring?
