ATLANTA -- As the water levels in the North Georgia reservoirs continue to decline, Channel 2 Action News announces it is scheduling its second special report on the crisis this month. “Georgia’s Water Crisis: The Next Step” will air Tuesday night from 8-9 p.m. in Prime Time. Anchors Monica Pearson, John Pruitt, Jovita Moore and Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns, lead the coverage.

“Our special report last Sunday uncovered the tip of the iceberg,” said Marian Pittman, news director for Channel 2 Action News. “The drought continues to grow in complexity every day. Our viewers want to know what they can do, and, they want to know what our public officials are doing to protect our community. This one hour special will dig even deeper into this critical issue.”

Morning anchor Fred Blankenship will report from drought-ridden California on the lessons learned during its 100 year drought. Blankenship details the state’s “indoor” water restrictions and rationing during extreme months and how it conserves every day since the emergency ended.

Richard Belcher, Channel 2’s investigative reporter, covers the story from Washington, detailing the Federal Government involvement and areas of control, including the US Army Corps of Engineers and Georgia legislators.

During the special report, Channel 2 will cover every major North Georgia reservoir, from Lake Lanier and Allatoona to West Point and Carters Lake, showcasing the specific challenges each faces and handicapping the amount of water in reserve.

From Severe Weather Center 2, Burns continues to track the long range forecast through the upcoming weeks and over the winter months.

“We’re seeing history in the making,” said Bill Hoffman, Vice President and General Manager of WSB-TV. “Our region will be recovering from this drought long after it is over. How we respond will redefine our conservation standards for the future. There’s nothing more important to our community’s health and well-being right now than our water.”
