State drought committee meets today

As Georgia continues to wrestle with dry conditions affecting water supplies, the state drought response committee meets today. Officials may recommend tighter watering restrictions--possibly a total outdoor watering ban for Georgia. One move has already been made this week as officials announced there will be a reduction in water being released downstream to Alabama by one-third. Lake Allatoona here in Georgia is dropping about a foot a week in its level.
