bullshite. Atlanta siphons 90% of it's 300 MILLION gallon daily use from the Chattahoochee.
It's primary use in Alabama is hydroelectric power for the southeastern part of the state.

Such complete bullshite BTW...Birmingham or Montgomery would give it's left nut for Atlanta's growth and economy.
BTW,Atlanta is actually using LESS WATER than it 10 years ago despite increasing it population
by of 1 million residents as is the entire state

metro Atlanta is withdrawing 10 percent less water over the past decade despite growing by more than 1 million people.
HIGHLY doubt Alabama could say the same.

Have no idea about sprinklers but I do know for a fact that Lake Harding was close to full level during the '07 drought while Lake Lanier was 20+ feet below level.BTW,what are the exact water restrictions east Alabama is under every summer?

So water originating in Georgia and within Georgia boundaries belongs to others?

You gotta link? Not even the attorneys for the state of Florida are using Metro Atlanta's water consumption as parts of their lawsuit...they are know targeting the states agricultural industry as the reason for the lawsuit
quote:
In a rare public appeal, Deal said Florida was forced to target Georgia’s agriculture industry in part because of successful conservation efforts by metro Atlanta. He pointed to data provided by his office that show metro Atlanta is withdrawing 10 percent less water over the past decade despite growing by more than 1 million people.

Then they need to upgrade to natural gas...our state did between 2000 and 2010 and saved
BILLIONS of gallons of water

Several of the facilities were decommissioned between 2000 and 2010 – during the worst of the drought years and the decade that saw usage plunge nearly 28 percent, said Steve Lawrence, a hydrologist with the USGS in Atlanta.
Several other plants converted from coal-fired, which needs plenty of water to cool it as an energy source, to natural gas, Lawrence said.
"Thermoelectric withdrawals account typically for a third of withdrawals, so all water withdrawals decrease when such a large user drops its share," Lawrence said.

RD, thanks for taking the time to fact-whip these gimps.

RD, can i get a favor? Remember the deck thread? Would you mind editing the comment that called out another poster’s profession? You simply quoted me, but then I edited my post, but your quote remains....

V&S, I always enjoy reading your posts.

You obviously have no clue of how this works legally...

It's simple, Alabama has more water and less people; Georgia has more people and less water.
In terms of inland, navigable waterways, AKA "big, wide, deep rivers, Alabama ranks 6th, nationally. Georgia ranks 14th. Alabama has almost double the amount of fresh water as Georgia. We don't need Georgia water.
One of the many reasons we call Alabama "Sweet Home!"

Then there should be no need for Georgia's water,correct?Fact is the state had 3 decade decline in
water use (29%) and an almost 70% increase in population.
Metro Atlanta also has a 10% decline in water use from the
previous decade.The state has spent BIILLIONS on water conservation along with upgrading thermoelectric and coal power plants to natural gas (by far the biggest factor in saVing water)

Simple,Alabama needs to upgrade it's power plants and SPEND the money on conservation efforts.

Yes...but cost of generation ($/MWh) is significantly higher for combined cycle plants than hydroelectric dams.
Oh...and
quote:
Flowing water referred to as Hydropower is the most widely used renewable energy source in the world. Hydropower generates less pollution than fuel-burning power generation methods and creates public recreational areas and new habitats for wildlife.
This, according to the Georgia Power Hydroelectric website
