		<description><![CDATA[Finally. Prodded by the fact that metro Atlanta stands on the brink of losing a major water source, Gov. Sonny Perdue is pushing a water supply conservation legislation.
But most of the bill&#8217;s measures wouldn&#8217;t take effect until more than two years from now. And — in deference to the usual special interests that hold sway [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[State Rep. Debbie Buckner&#8217;s proposed statewide midday lawn-watering ban has about as much chance of passing as water does of flowing uphill. But it&#8217;s a good idea.
As Buckner notes in an interview on Georgia Public Broadcasting, it doesn&#8217;t make much sense to water lawns in the middle of a summer day anyway because much of that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gubernatorial candidate John Oxendine certainly can&#8217;t be accused of avoiding conflicts.
The frontrunning Republican in the  2010 contest told Chattanooga&#8217;s daily last week that, if elected, he&#8217;ll try to convince Tennessee&#8217;s next governor to share water from the Tennessee River with Georgia. And, in case that effort fails (which seems likely), he&#8217;s already threatening to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A federal appeals court panel agreed Wednesday that Georgia should be allowed to appeal a trial court ruling that could severely restrict metro Atlanta&#8217;s access to water from Lake Lanier.
U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson ruled in July that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers never had been authorized to allocate water from the lake [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t see Vinings after the flood. But, man, the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area parking lot at U.S. 41 was a total mess. It was closed [...]]]></description>

You may recall that Georgia was on the losing end recently of the most sweeping decision yet in the 20-year-old contest for control of water from the Chattahoochee River and other [...]]]></description>

&#8220;It&#8217;s not necessarily nuclear energy we&#8217;re opposed to,&#8221; the Augusta Chronicle quotes Savannah Riverkeeper director Tonya Bonitatibus as saying. &#8220;The thing we take issue with is [...]]]></description>
