Three million residents in metro Atlanta rely on Lake Lanier and the Chattahoochee River as their source of drinking water. However, this critical resource has been significantly impacted by rapid development, population growth, recent droughts and the Tri-State Water Wars. The fate of water quantity, quality and planning in the region will depend on the outcome of decades-long litigation and court rulings. Come hear from Georgia leaders about the legal, environmental and economic impacts of the ongoing water conflict.
