Motivation-
-Drought conditions in Atlanta and most of the Southeastern U. S.
-Water war between down stream interests AL, FL, GA over Lake Lanier reservoir
-Governor Perdue conducts prayer ceremony on the GA capital steps
-Federal Judge rules that Atlanta’s use of Lake Lanier as drinking water source is illegal
-God helps those who help themselves
-To gain understanding of the implications and requirements of stealing water
-What are the complications of transporting water across an international border
-What unknown things might occur in the process of collecting, transporting and
possessing the water
Process (planned)
August 2009
-Drive to Canada crossing over at Sault St. Marie
-Identify source from which to obtain water (Unknown Source)
-Withdraw and process a small amount of water (5-20 gallons)
-Conceal water for return trip to Atlanta
-Cross back into U.S. at Sault St. Marie, drive to Atlanta
-Deposit water into Lake Lanier
Process (actual)
August 2009
-Drive to Canada crossing over at Sault St. Marie
-Identify source from which to obtain water (Serpent River System, Ontario)
-Withdraw and process a small amount of water (12 gallons)
-Conceal water for return trip to Atlanta
-Cross back into U.S. at Sault St. Marie, drive to Atlanta
-No action taken to release/use/deposit the water
Realizations
-The perceived value of the water increased due the amount of work, care and
process involved in getting it to Atlanta.
-If it is illegal to use the water from Lake Lanier as a source for Atlanta
it might not be appropriate to deposit the Canadian water there as initially planned.
Questions
-What do you think should be done with the water?
-Where should it be released?
-How might it best be used?
Results
At the end of the Still Water exhibition half of the stolen water will be released/utilized in whatever location or way that is decided by popular input on this forum.
The information for the release will be posted on this forum the last week of the exhibition
Please include your ideas as to what to do with this water-from-Canada.

ReplyDeleteAs a former Vermonter, I have a soft spot for my Northern neighbor, Canada. I'd like to bottle a little of the water, keep it on my home altar and dab it daily on my wrists and carotid just before meditating. I miss the north country. Maybe this way i can absorb some of the wilderness.
ReplyDeleteI'd use the rest of the water to fill my grandson's blow up pool. I'd be sharing the homeland juices with this child of the future.
On a mean note, the water could be poured inside balloons and tossed at passing cars from Alabama, Florida and Tennessee-our water war rivals. Or maybe a plastic replica of a suicide bomber vest could be made, with pockets full of this water instead of C4. Get out of the car at the Alabama, Florida or Tennessee borders and expose yourself screaming God is Great!
