Atlanta, Georgia , made headlines in 2007 when the city announced that it probably had less than 2 months water supply. Lake Lanier, the largest reservoir in the area, was almost out of water. Lake Lanier supplies water for 4-5 million Georgians.  Now their problem has come to Texas!

We had the same weather pattern as Atlanta in 2006. Our weather pattern changed. Theirs did not. Lake Travis is now experiencing another exceptional drought. Many Texas cities are finding themselves in this same situation.

The problem in Atlanta was worsened by a complex web of inter-basin transfers. What about this inter-basin transfer into Cedar Park, Leander and Round Rock?

The water problem goes past all this. Nuclear and coal power plants use an awesome amount of cooling water to operate. If our drought continues, our power plants will have a mandatory 20% reduction in water.

When water gets really low, electricity will also be threatened. But electricity powers the water intakes and treatment plants�
