No time to waste: Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper

When the rain stops (and it will), conserving and protecting our water resources will be as important as ever. The Chattahoochee River serves 3.5 million Georgian's and 70% of metro Atlanta. Yet the area of our watershed north of Atlanta is the smallest to serve any metropolitan area in the country. Given the size of our watershed and our growing population, we have no choice but to use this precious resource wisely if we are going to have enough clean water for now and the future.

Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper has educated thousands of citizens, students, business people and policy-makers about north Georgia's water crisis and how to be more efficient with our water usage through the PowerPoint presentaion Tapped Out: The Dry Up of Atlanta. Schedule a presentation of Tapped Out by contacting Christina Cooper at 404-352-9828 x17, and find out what you can do to be more water efficient at home, at work , and in the garden through UCR's No Time To Waste page. You can also learn how to advocate for conservation programs by contacting policy-makers and utilities.
