ATLANTA -- As the water levels in the North Georgia reservoirs continue to decline, Channel 2 Action News scheduled its second special report on the crisis this month. “Georgia’s Water Crisis: The Next Step” aired Tuesday night in Prime Time. Anchors Monica Pearson, John Pruitt, Jovita Moore and Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns, led the coverage.

Morning anchor Fred Blankenship reported from drought-ridden California on the lessons learned during its 100 year drought. Blankenship detailed 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, covered the story from Washington, detailing the Federal Government involvement and areas of control, including the US Army Corps of Engineers and Georgia legislators.

DISCUSS: Your Thoughts On Water Crisis

During the special report, Channel 2 covered 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.”
