Water Wars in the Southeast
For the past two decades there has been a more heated war between the two states over water supply. Florida, along with Alabama, claims that Georgia ‐ Atlanta in particular ‐ is taking more than its fair share of water from the Chattahoochee, Flint, and Apalachicola River Basins, which is having adverse effects on the economies and the environments of Florida and Alabama. Florida and Alabama point to Atlanta's burgeoning population and the resultant water demands as the root of the problem. It will be interesting to see how Florida's recent lawsuit, in which one state directly sues another, will turn out and what the implications will be for other states in which similar water disputes exist.
