ATTEND DROUGHT EXERCISE - A group of participants recently met in Eufaula to learn about drought in the basin and how state agencies and the Army Corps of Engineers respond to changing conditions. Participants were led through interactive scenario exercises to get them thinking about drought. The workshop was an important first step in forging new relationships and sharing information about drought. Some 60 stakeholders from across Alabama, Georgia and Florida gathered at the chamber for the day-long workshop which was facilitated by the National Drought Mitigation Center. Chris Manganiello, the Water Policy director at Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, and one of the event organizers described the meeting as the first ever multi-stakeholder drought exercise in the watershed.
