Water Water Everywhere...
What cites do you believe have a sufficient supply of water for the next 50 years?
What cities are going to be running low? When do you think the trouble will start?
ID say, for sufficient -
Cities near the Great Lakes
On the Major Rivers (Ohio, Mississippi)
the Pac NW
In trouble
Florida
Atlanta
Arizona
SoCal
Las Vegas
Denver
prob many more...

You pretty much answered your own question. I agree with this list. |

Personally, I'm not worried about Atlanta. In some ways this drought is a good thing--at least people are becoming aware of taking better care of their resources. Every yard being planted with native plants instead of grass, is a step in the right direction. So is every water conserving toilet being installed, etc.
Things will be exciting for a little while more... and then the rains will return. A strong hurricane season is all it will take to fill the lakes back up and then some. But my hat is off to the politicians who will play this for all it's worth. I only wish GA had a few stronger officials who could really make some changes.

People blamed for water woes in West - Yahoo! News (broken link)
I'm really curious to know what the "leaders" out west are telling their people.
What do y'all hear?
