Tapped Out: The Drying Up of Atlanta

Whether we are in a wet year or a dry year, the Chattahoochee watershed is on a supply and demand collision course.  The Chattahoochee Watershed upstream of Atlanta is the smallest in the nation to serve a major metropolitan area – and 3.5 million people depend on it for water supply, a number that is growing every day. We have a finite water supply that is being stretched to the breaking point.

Tapped Out: The Drying Up of Atlanta is a PowerPoint presentation that examines the causes of the water crisis in the Chattahoochee River watershed and offers practical solutions for citizens, business people, and policy-makers. Others major cities have actually decreased their water demand while population increased. We can do it too.
