Florida, Georgia Again Urged To Find Water Wars Solution

Tuesday is an important deadline for Florida and Georgia in the Water Wars. A representative of the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the states to meet by that date to try to reach an agreement on how to share water, instead of having the court decide for them.

Florida is suing Georgia, saying the state uses too much water from the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers for Atlanta and for south Georgia’s farms. The special master, who is handling the case on behalf of the court, has told the states several times that they probably won’t be happy with what he recommends.

The two states have met before, and failed to come up with a solution.
