Water stress in Georgia

Much has been made recently about the water levels in GA.

I’ve written that Atlanta GA was experiencing water stress issues, but this is getting worse. Too many people, concentrated in too small an area.

This is the same issue that exists out west.

Unfortunately we can’t engineer our way out fo this.

Going after well water only lasts so long. If the aquifer is not replenished in an adequate amount, we’re just borrowing time. Now it’s all over the news. 43% of the US is under drought conditions.

So what does this mean?

It means the water issue has come home.

It is no longer just Africa, India, and China.

Australia is also on the list of water stressed countries.

Now people are willing to finance good ideas, innovators are coming with good concepts, and eventually we will see something happen
