The Supreme Court has just two cases left that it hasn’t ruled on this term.

One of them is a fight over water between Georgia and Florida, one of the battles in the decades-long water wars between those two states and sometimes Alabama.

Over the years, it hasn’t just been a legal fight. The three states’ disagreements over water have also come up in Congress, and the governors of the states have tried to reach deals. Gov. Nathan Deal, who’s in the final months of his term, said he regrets not being able to find a resolution.
