How The Florida-Georgia Water Fight Could Affect Atlanta

 

Arguments in an unusual U.S. Supreme Court case begin on Monday. It’s the latest battle in a decades-long fight over water in the South known as the “Water Wars.” The outcome could affect farmers in South Georgia, oystermen in Florida, and how people live and do business in Atlanta.

The case will be in front of one man, whose title is “special master,” instead of in front of the Supreme Court justices. And it takes place in Portland, Maine, instead of Washington, D.C.
