With all the news about how much the Glades Reservoir project is going to cost, I have yet to see an explanation of how it adds one drop to our water supply in times of drought, which is the reason given for it being built. The Times’ headline touts “40 million gallons per day” as if this is additional new water that will be made available in time of drought. The Glades Reservoir will be located in the upper Chattahoochee River drainage basin, which means all of the water that it will hold is presently being held downstream in Lake Lanier.
