Atlanta's city planners, govt officials, and citizens have themselves to blame for their water shortage woes. Smart planing, along with water reuse, better conservation, and sensible development is the solution to their problems, not stealing from other states. There are lots of ways they can come out of this mess, at this point none will be cheap, but perhaps the people of Atlants will get the sense to elect those officials smart enough to work through this instead of the same corrupt gang they keep re-electing.
