Thewhole thing is amazing to me, especially the part about no contingency. Perdue (who I voted for) hired Carol Couch 2-3 years ago as head of Georgia EPD specifically because of her "water" expertise. The water disputes in the SE have been all over the papers for years and you would think they would have given this some thought.

I would say that the drought monitor indicates that drought conditions in Alabama may be easing but will continue in Georgia so there may be a bit more of a challenge for Georgia. I also think that releasing water from Georgia to float a dredge in Alabama is probably not going to garner a lot of public support in Georgia right now and Perdue, like Reilly, need to appeal to their constituency.

Here's a bold prediction, when the drought finally eases neither state will have the political will to develop a long-term mutually beneficial strategy that takes into consideration the economic needs of both states. They'll be off to their next real or manufactured crisis. Another argument for limited government.
