As his state endures its worst drought in a century, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue is praying for rain. Lake Lanier, the reservoir that waters the endlessly growing colossus of metro Atlanta, is receding from its banks, shriveling to a shiny puddle. Georgia has restricted car washing and lawn watering. It has shut off its outdoor fountains.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"how_to_solve_americas_water_problems\"<\/a>In San Diego, which just experienced its driest summer in recorded history, the hills are charred from October\u2019s wildfires. The state of California is so tapped out that the pumps that carry water from the Sacramento River to San Diego were tightened in December. Water authorities are urging San Diegans to tear up their grass and replace it with cactus and succulent.<\/p>\n

Bill Richardson, governor of arid New Mexico, had his region\u2019s plight in mind when he told the Las Vegas Sun that Northern states need to start sharing their water: \u201cI want a national water policy. We need a dialogue between states to deal with issues like water conservation, water reuse technology, water delivery and water production. States like Wisconsin are awash in water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sun Belters, there\u2019s a man in Detroit with the answer to your water problems. \u201cThey can have all the water they want,\u201d says Hugh McDiarmid Jr. of the Michigan Environmental Council. \u201cAll they have to do is move here.\u201d There\u2019s plenty of room. Some Detroit neighborhoods are so bereft of houses that pheasants hide in the vacant lots. And the cost of living is unbeatable. Earlier this year, an auctioneer was trying to unload a bungalow for $18,000. When no one would bid, he reminded his audience, \u201cYou get the land under the house, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

OK, so Detroit\u2019s a tough place to find a job. How about Cleveland? It\u2019s half the size it used to be, which means 500,000 people are driving on freeways built for a million. Commuting is a breeze. Syracuse would love to have you, too. They\u2019ve lost a higher proportion of young people than any other city in the U.S., perhaps because they engineered their own demise, being the headquarters of Carrier Air Conditioning, the appliance that made the Sun Belt possible. But they still have Syracuse Orange basketball. And Dinosaur Barbecue, which has the best ribs in Upstate New York, and the funniest bathroom graffiti anywhere.<\/p>\n
