Well thats false considering they rely on water from other states. They also dont conserve water like Atlanta and Georgia does.
If they actually conserved water, they might not have the dilemma of fighting for water from georgia

Gee and how did all these "fragile eco systems" survive before lake lanier and the acoe got involved?

, the many times in the summer and fall, when Georgia/Atlanta is under water restrictions so tight they shut your water off and fine you immediately for using any water outside. Then I come across the border and see people with all their sprinklers on mid day for hours on end.
This is the big slap in the face.
While everyone is in severe water restrictions around ATL because we are forced to drain lake lanier so lower alabama can have zero water restrictions.
Then you've got the liberal judges trying to protect endangered bullshite in the Appalachicola bay.
Georgia getting fricked.

One common piece of BS is that the power plants down south need adequate water levels in order to dump their hot water in without affecting the ecosystem.
bullshite.
Use cooling towers and retention ponds and recycle the water.
No, that's expensive, lets get a liberal ignorant judge to drain lake lanier every summer and put ATL on severe water restrictions.

Wholeheartedly agree and think there should be some relief downstream. But at the end if the day, Atlanta cannot sustain it's growth with the current water supply.

Federal law. Thank the EPA and the gulf fisheries.

That is done before the water can be replaced in the river which, per federal law, must be done.

Atlanta gets more rainfall than Seattle and COA is currently building a 30 day resovoir along
with an already sizable ones in Cobb and S. Metro...too bad our brethren to the south have absolutely no sense of urgency because their water needs always get priority over metro Atlanta and they rarely feel the pinch of water restrictions.

Then EVERYBODY should go on water restrictions on that water...

Good, Atlanta needs it.

Those to the South budget their water better, therefore they aren't subject to the same restrictions.

Perhaps you should get up to speed. If one group is using a larger share than they are due when plentiful then they should be the ones to cut back to everyone else's rate when not plentiful instead of lowering everyone's rate.

No they don't,if they did they wouldn't have to tap into another states water supply.How difficult is that to figure out?

It's been that way for thousands of years.Once again,Atlanta is not the problem.

Do they? or do they just rely on disproportionate amounts of water? They dont face any hardships because of a mandate, not because they budget better.
If its federal water then it should be divided among the population.

Is that group using a larger portion? That group is also the one on conservation vs the others that waste water.
Do you think the state of alabama should get the same amount of federal dollars as california?

It's divided among basins with greater percentage allocated for greater population densities.

Yes, Atlanta uses more water than it receives. That's why Atlanta is forced to using conservation methods other areas aren't.

Surely we can have an intelligent conversation.
Edit: changed received to recieves.

There's MORE than enough rainfall and natural Springs to take care of Metro Atlanta and you have not 1 ounce
of evidence to support your silly claim.

No there isn't. They've already siphoned off enough water from other areas to impact hydroelectric plants and shellfish industries. They are building more reservoirs. And now they're trying to reach into another state to steal resources.

You're full of shite. You've never seen that happen.
The truth is that Atlanta's use has FAR outstripped it's capacity to retain water, so it's tried to fricking drain the Chattahoochee and now wants to tap into the Tennessee.
If you can't control your growth responsibly and ration your own water, you CERTAINLY aren't entitled to water belonging to others.
