Seems to me that GA, as first steward in a serial path, is responsible
for controlling the amount of demand on a finite supply. They have
allowed expansion beyond what nature is willing to provide, on an
ongoing basis. They need to stop whining and address the *real*
problem..... allowing overpopulation in sensitive areas.

This is just as stoopid as building on the shoreline and wanting
somebody to buy you out of trouble when a hurricane makes your
dwelling disappear.

Gene, it's not just Georgia. Hell, Alabama, downstream, doesn't have
ANY water conservation regulations. Then, if we want to regulate
outflow, the Gov. of Alabama has a hissy fit! There is plenty of water
for us. The problem is with the corp allowing the water to run freely
into the gulf. This is a free country, and people are allowed to move
here if they like, just like they are allowed to move elsewhere.
