# Georgia Water Wars, Pt 2 – Georgia’s Groundwater
February 26th, 2026
7pm - 9pm
In Person
Location: Manuel’s Tavern, 602 N Highland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307
## Featured Speaker: John Clarke
## Description
Join John Clarke for the second in our Georgia Water Wars series. Water usage is becoming a very pressing issue as Atlanta keeps growing and more data centers and cryptomines that use millions of galleons per day are built all over Georgia. We need that water for agriculture, industry and everyday public uses.
Water is the lifeblood of our planet. Throughout history to the present day, wars have been waged over this precious resource, and Georgia is no exception. The presentation will provide an overview of conflicts over groundwater resources of Georgia and adjacent South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida. This includes saltwater intrusion along the coast, the Okefenokee Swamp, groundwater contamination at the Savannah River Site, and effects of agricultural pumping on streamflow in the Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin.
If you missed part one, you can view the YouTube recording to catch up. This talk will somewhat reference the previous talk but it will not be needed to understand.
