"It's only going to antagonize somebody," said Charles Bullock, a political scientist at the University of Georgia. "You have three Republican governors. The delegations in Congress of these states are predominantly Republican, so it's not easy politically. There's really no easy way out of it."

If the administration decides to bolster Georgia's drinking supply, Alabama and Florida may claim it's crippling their economies to satisfy uncontrolled growth around Atlanta. If it continues releasing water downstream to Alabama and Florida, Georgia could argue one of the nation's largest cities is being hung out to dry. This is outrageous. I can't believe the state of Georgia allowed things to get so bad. Atlanta is THE city of the South and one of the most important cities in the country. Its just amazing to me that they didn't react to the city's diminishing water supply until it was too late. They are now between a rock and a hard place. There is no way they can let 5 million people go without water.
