North Carolina passed a bill to develop river basin modeling as a foundation to future watershed planning. South Carolina enacted a new surface water permitting bill that requires a permit to withdraw water. Georgia passed the water efficiency bill just in time to negotiate with Florida and Alabama.
Separate bills. Different goals. New rules.
Freeing each bill from its state borders, I compiled the text from these bills and produced a word cloud this morning. Totally unscientific, I know. I am not sure why exactly I did this except maybe to see what it would look like. As you can imagine, the new language of water involves words like withdraw, permit, and flows.
