Learn About Our Water

Unlike most large cities that were built around access to water, Atlanta began as a transportation hub. It has the highest elevation of all major cities east of the Mississippi River. The region is located at the headwaters of six river basins, which represent the smallest available surface water supply source for any major metropolitan area in the country.

Our Water Story

The Metro Water District relies almost entirely on surface water to meet the needs of the region. Our water story is unique, which is why water management is critical.
