    Let's get the country to help and rally around for Georgia...Atlanta needs to set up a receiving location so people aropund the country can donate bottled water (very similar to helping hurricane victims with blankets, food, etc.) I'm ready to help, where do I send a case of water? Also give the people some suggestions on how to conserve water: Don't flush after every pee; set-up barrels or clean garbage pails in yards to capture every drop of rain water and use to water gardens; don't use tap water for drinking, use bottled water; run a contest to come up with water saving ideas; provide rewards for those who conserve the most and severe penalties for those who abuse the program to conserve.

    don't flush after only one or two "pees"; keep barrels or garbage pails in yard to capture any rainfall that comes your way and use that to water plants. Don't use tap water for drinking, buy your water for that purpose; People all over the country should donate "water" to a central receiving location in Atlanta, very much like we would send blankets and money for hurricane victims or fire victims. Let's get the country to rally to help Georgia...I'm ready. Mike, Thousand Oaks, California
