I'm in Atlanta, too. On internship until next August...assuming the city doesn't get evacuated/implode before then. Aside from the outdoor watering ban, there really don't seem to be any significant steps to curb our use going on. My roommate still takes 2 showers a day and the urinals in my office building still flush automatically. This seems like a perfect warm up for peak oil. Life will go on as it always does...until it suddenly doesn't. At least I can escape the ATL.

I can second that recommendation for atlantawatershortage.com. It's the best regularly-updated source of information (and willd, doomer speculation) that I've found.

Not meaning to sound facetious, but the options always end up being the same - more technology or use less.

At CNN they replaced every fauset with censor ones like two months ago - hate those things but what can you do?

It is really nothing so far... it might get interesting next fall if we wouldn't get much rain to refill the lakes... and I am sorry for the farmers who lost their crops but still Atlanta is the poultry capital of the world. That doesn't take much water and once Russians stopped pricing everybody out we are back to $1/lb.
