Channel 2 Action News Anchor Jovita Moore and Chief Meteorologist Glenn Burns, report on Georgia’s water crisis and its effects on every family, home and community as the drought continues to get worse.

“The water crisis in Georgia is important enough for us to go in-depth and provide thirty minutes of coverage,” said Marian Pittman, News Director. “We are reporting on the water crisis almost daily, but it takes more time to put it all into context. So Channel 2 Action News will provide in-depth coverage with perspective and conservation ideas viewers can use every day.”

Moore reveals which local areas may not have any drinking water in 3 months time. Then she asks tough questions about how the State has managed this precious resource. Channel 2 shows viewers why South Georgia doesn’t have to conserve water like North Georgia. Plus, the special examines the strain development and growth has put on the local water supply.

From Severe Weather Center 2, Burns tracks Georgia’s drastic climate change and rain deficits. He also lays out the long range forecast including the critical winter months and what we can expect in 2008.

“I am always amazed how we take one of our most vital resources for granted. We live in a blessed region of the country, but until we address our long term water needs, we are vulnerable,” said Bill Hoffman, Vice President and General Manager of WSB-TV.

Channel 2 delivers in-depth coverage so that every Georgian will be aware of this critical situation. It’s part of Channel 2’s community commitment during this ongoing crisis.  Show will be aired Sunday, October 14, 2007 at 6:30 pm.
