Courts Corps will be key in water fight
The three states Georgia Florida and Alabama face a renewed dispute as tri state water talks collapse and federal courts take a lead role. Eight lawsuits remain active and a new short term operations plan from the Army Corps of Engineers and Fish and Wildlife Service could trigger renewed legal maneuvering. Governors Perdue Crist and Riley failed to reach a compromise after mediation by Dirk Kempthorne, with Georgia seeking more water from the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint basins and Florida and Alabama arguing downstream harms. The Corps plans to replace the June 1 expiry arrangement and rewrite long term manuals guiding river allocations as drought deepens.
