The commissioner of Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management made a plea for conservation today because of the severe drought that has forced restrictions on 61 counties in north Georgia.

Robert J. Hunter called it a drought "of historic magnitude." He said everyone must come together to protect and conserve limited water resources.

The storage for Atlanta's water supply is Lake Lanier, located north of the city. Hunter said it provides water for one-third of the residents of Georgia.

He said that now there is enough water in Lanier to serve the area for 121 days.

Hunter joined Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin at a news conference at City Hall to urge citizens in Atlanta and the surrounding area to do everything possible to conserve water.

1. Lawns or drink, choose wrong and it'll sink.

2. This could be IT folks.

The signs are everywhere. War and rumors of war. Signs in the heavens. Regardless of what you think or believe the evangelicals are hoping for the end so they can go live eternally with God. The truth is we may be the victims of a catastrophic natural event exacerbated by human existence. There is a hypothetical that asks, 'What if there were a cure for death?' Would the earth be consumed and destroyed by the overload of human existence? We will see. I hope this can be turned around. If it cannot our political beliefs will be the least of our worries. :dem:

3. My brother is installing a cistern in his Ansley Park (ATL) house.

Gray water in, and back out for toilets, etc. I'm looking into a similar system for our Greenville house.

4. Didn't a snow-themed park just open in Atlanta? Close that sucker down

and your water supply should rise - at least enough to help.
