As the climate changes many cities around the world are starting to experience major droughts,  with no end in sight.  According to some estimates,  Atlanta could be dry by Christmas,  which is really not that far away. 

So what then,  is the solution?  Seems that not enough thought has been put into this matter.  Engineers are going to have to put a bit of time into this,  and soon as water is an important resource for many different reasons to any city that is considerably large and Atlanta is 4.5 million.  The mining town of Orme, Tennessee can survive by trucking water in,  however it is only a population of 145,  a solution like this is not an option for a city of 4.5 million.

One solution is to use nuclear power plants to provide electricity but also double as desalination plants.  The idea of drinking water that has come from a nuclear plant seems a bit eerie to me. Anyone got any other ideas?
