Drought

Water is everywhere. Well, kind of. Earlier this week on the Kojo Nnamdi Show (DC/NPR radio program) had a discussion about the state of the Chesapeake Bay. Today on the front page of the Washington Post in an article about the lack of rain fall in the DC area. On the Kojo Nnamdi show it was mentioned that Maryland would be the third most impacted state due to rising oceans after Louisiana and Florida - mostly likely because of the bay. And, some counties are starting to put restrictions on water use because their reservoir are low. It will be interested to see what happens if water becomes more of an issue in the DC region. Adding drought to the fact that the Potomic and Anacostia Rivers are incredibly polluted, it just might get some people's attention. There is nothing like having an international crisis all of a sudden in your backyard - as when all the senators and congresspeople can't water their lawns... I'm not saying this would be a good thing, but it might get things moving.
