Georgia drought "historic and unprecedented"

Georgia's top water official called the state's drought "historic and unprecedented". Enviromental Protection Division director Carol Couch made those comments during Thursday's meeting of the Georgia Water Council.

The EPD says 55 areas of the state are in danger of water shortages. These areas draw water from small creeks or small reservoirs. Heard County officials said this week that their two main sources of water from small creeks have nearly dried up.
