The idea of dry faucets keeps me up at night. Seriously. I now considering buying a home on the basis of future rainfall; mountains and rivers are a good sign. Florida ain't even in the running.
I'll believe that Southern (or let's face it, Western and Southwestern, too) states take their droughts seriously when they order golf courses to turn off the sprinklers. Although, the day that that happens, you know faucets are dry.
WOW, Lenar & Horton could take advantage of the Drought---leave us, (Dade Sufferers) with little water, and build on Lake 'O's' shore line turf not needing any fill for track housing. (Somewhere stated,Fla will be a desert in time)
Our position: The water war between Florida and Georgia misses broader point about conservation.

The water war being waged by Florida, Georgia and Alabama has produced its first bona-fide casualty: reason. Oh, the fight over how the states can help themselves to the ebbing waters of the Apalachicola River is real enough. A drought in the region has pinched the ability of Georgia officials to quench Atlanta's thirst, and it threatens the ecology and economy along the Florida Panhandle. But the response of officials to the crisis -- which rages following a failed attempt by the Bush administration to broker a deal among the three states -- is drowning in hyperbole and hysterics. Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue cries that surely the sea life in the Panhandle doesn't deserve more water than "humans, children and babies in Atlanta." go to link above to read the rest...

Amo; don't be too sure of that there are 3 states fighting over the rivers: Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Did you see chinatown?
