A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION WATER FOR THE FUTURE. . .

ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

We use water every day, often without giving a moment's thought

to where it comes from or how it shapes our future. The struggle to

pull together a deal to resolve the 12 1/2-year battle over water

from Lake Gaston raises questions about regional cooperation and

development:

Why does something as basic as water produce major battles?

What responsibilities do citizens of one city have to the

others?

What is your vision of Hampton Roads' future?

Tonight at 7 p.m., the Virginian-Pilot will hold a group

discussion about these issues. It will be held at the newspaper's

office, 150 W. Brambleton Ave. If you'd like to come, call Karen

Weintraub at 547-9764 or Esther Diskin at 446-2027.
