This is the same guy who advised prayer as a solution.

Now, I am not anti-prayer, even though I don't really believe in God. But, sure, pray. But - (1) it can't be the only solution, (2) it's self-fulfilling because eventually this drought WILL be over and you're then going to give credit to prayer?, and (3) remember the old woman on the roof during the hurricane who refused to get in the helicopter each of the 3 times it came to rescue her because she believed God would save her - she died and God told her he came for her three times and she kept turning him away.

Georgia’s current drought did not begin a few days or a few weeks ago. Various drought events throughout the state since spring 2006 combined with a lack of efficient water use habits helped bring the state to where it is today. Water Conservation (Indoors and Outdoors) Cannot Be Overemphasized! Conserving water temporarily, then returning to inefficient water use habits will not help alleviate the situation. Water conservation must become a way of life for all Georgians, according to officials with the state’s Drought Response Unified Command (DRUC).
I believe Americans need to wake up and realize that the resources are not endless and that the continued increase of population requires new ways of thinking, especially if we want our kids and grandkids to be able to live in a healthy environment. If we continue to WASTE, everybody will suffer, as well as our economy and health. The Earth does not have endless resources and cannot be replaced.
If you want to take a first step, replace your toilets with Dual Flush models, saving precious drinking water - there is no need to flush down 1.6 Gallons or more with every bathroom visit (The toilet accounts for 20% - 25% of all household’s water use). On an average of 5 uses a day per person, these save an additional 1.6 gallons per person per day over the widely advertised 1.28 GPF low-flow toilets.
