1. There isn’t enough water to support the growth of the Atlanta metro region *AND* keep the fishing industry of FL intact.
2. Even without FL getting the water, the ATL metro just can’t keep sucking in more and more fresh water.
3. You can do the math on the watershed that supplies the region versus the anticipated growth in water demand and the lines cross *IF* nothing happens.
4. The FEDS and the Atlanta regional planning commission have to fix this, eventually. Sooner is better.
5. I live on Lake Lanier, the primary reservoir for Atlanta and the surrounding metros. This is near and dear to me/us.

This makes fresh water, {for those living in Rio Linda}.
