Atlanta is 110 days away from running out of drinking water? I knew the South was in the midst of a serious drought, but somehow I'd hadn't quite processed the magnitude of the problem.
UPDATE: Here's a blog devoted to the story. It turns out that there are competing estimates on the number of days. And the problem, it seems, is the result of long term forces and not just a short to medium-term drought.
Mark my words - water will be the defining issue of the 21st century.
