[QUOTE="athena, post: 260774, member: 9953"] I live in North Georgia. It is pretty serious, especially in the Atlanta area. I keep hearing that unless something changes soon, the water could dry up in the next couple of months (some have even been measuring in weeks). A couple of the bigger companies are working to help with the problem in Atlanta including UPS and Coke. Right now it seems mostly to be that people are asked to be as conservative as possible (i.e. take 2-5 min showers using water only for wetting and rinsing) and of course there are bans to keep from watering the lawn etc. Restaurants have even been encouraged to only bring water to the table if the customer asks for it. Businesses that have been worst hit are those like landscaping b/c no one is allowed to water their lawns regardless of how new the lawn is. I have also heard the older individuals say they have seen streams go dry that they have never seen go dry before. I have been hearing that most of the lakes (both big and small) are anywhere between 12-15 feet lower than the norm. [/QUOTE]
