WATER CONCERNS IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA

The author of this blog talks about the most important resource that the planet Earth has to offer, water.
This blog addresses a variety issues concerning the water supply in Georgia, and water in general.
The author begins with speaking about Lake Laniar and debating on whether the water level at this point of time is appropriate for drainage or whether engineers should wait till water levels rise. According to the author the fact that water levels have risen greatly in the past few months does not justify drainage. The water levels have indeed risen but they still fall below the normal level that is expected at the Lanier Lake.
According to the data provided the volume of water in the lake is still on the rise and hence it would be wiser to wait for a longer span of time before drainage is considered. Also the fact that summer months are close approaching should be a key factor in the decision on whether drainage should be conducted now.
The author then moves on to talk about the new water councils appointed for the Georgia water management. The authors displays to contrasting views on the new appointees. One for this change and one of strong opposition. Although the views displayed are not of the author but other officials working or in some way associated with the Georgia water supply.
The author has utilised a tone of concern, where he clearly demonstrates the fact that the issue is one that he really cares about, and one that affects him directly. The author has made his post a highly informative one by sharing various statistics and data relating to the water supply in Georgia.
The one draw back with this blog is the under utilization of multimedia. The author has not used any images or videos to further illustrate his point. The graph he used was highly informative, but any more of such graphs, charts ,and images relating to this issue were required. That would have definitely added to the overall appeal of the blog post.
The reason why the author is compelled to write about the water problem in Georgia is because this is an issue that he/she can directly relate to. It is an issue that's affecting the quality of life in their neighbourhood an hence for them it is an issue that requires addressing and needs to be written about.
The prime motive behind this blog is to create awareness of the issue on hand and provide various data on this depleting resource. The content of this blog is highly informative and hence has been created in order to share this information with people so the importance of this situation can be understood better.
