Georgia's first-ever statewide water plan has sailed through committees in the House and Senate this week. Today the proposal could get the vote before the full Legislature. If the 'yes' vote comes and gets the sign-off by Governor Sonny Perdue, the plan goes into action.
The plan would launch the effort to detail just how much water is in the state's rivers, lakes and streams. A three-year plan costing more than 30-million dollars would get a funding kickoff suggested by Perdue of just-over 11-million dollars in the first year. 11 planning districts would then work to decide how to divide the state's water resources.
