Let Lanier dry up. After all, it is nothing more than a
recreational
lake.........correct?

First and foremost, I believe, it is a reservoir.

Bottled water.

Well, I don't much like Atlanta, but I don't have contempt for it. I do
like the Georgia coast.

Now, Texas...that's another matter. What an awful place.

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.- Hide quoted text -

Holy cripe! Are you really saying that because you live in proximity
of a body of water, that only those in that proximity is entitlted to
use it??

When it comes to non recreational use.........yes. You get none of
it.....none! Go drill a well if you need water. The Great Lakes water
belongs to the surrounding US States and Canadian Provinces. So solly

That's absurd. Please show what laws, or treaties you've gotten that
information from. You do understand that rain water from places many
places in the country, some quite far away flows into the great lakes,
don't you? Again, what IS the proximity? Five miles? 100? The rain may
have come from 1000's of miles away. Are those people that are in,
let's say Washington state entitled to *your* water when a storm picks
up moisture from the pacific and rains onto great lakes water sheds?
Are you not entitled to any other water sources because you are in
proximity to one of the great lakes?
