Default Lake Lanier drying up?

I don't have any contempt for Atlanta either.............but the water is
ours, not theirs. Believe me, this is becoming more and more of an
issue.......with Canada in the mix also as they have an equal stake on the
fresh water held in those Great Lakes.


On occasion we'll see something in the news on that issue.
I guess the nightmare scenario would be the US deciding on it's own to
divert hugh amounts of fresh water from the Great Lakes to satisfy dry areas
in the south and south-west.
Look what happened to the Colorado River.
