ATLANTA --- Gubernatorial candidates Nathan Deal and Roy Barnes both rank solving the state's water crisis as a top priority, and they mention many of the same solutions, such as building more reservoirs and negotiating with neighboring states. The biggest differences come in how far they are proposing to go toward those goals.
However, one step they both vow not to take is laying a cross-country pipeline to withdraw water from the Savannah River to supply Atlanta.
"Taking water from the Savannah River Basin is not an option," Deal says.
Barnes frequently uses the line, "Ours is a storage problem. Ours is not a supply problem."
Deal, the Republican nominee, tells audiences he is the candidate most familiar with the water battle among Alabama, Florida and Georgia over metro Atlanta's access to water in Lake Lanier because the giant lake has been in his district during his 18 years in Congress.
