North Georgia rivers

[Marshmallow]

I was just reading how Georgia is planning to redraw its northern boundaries so it can claim part of the Tennessee River to help with its drought problems. I'd like a little more land in my side yard. I wonder if my neighbor would mind my taking part of his?

This is all part of a water battel that has been in the court system for like 3 or 4 years now. It envolves Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia and who has right to the Hooch and flow and all. This is just all part of it.

I think Florida is in on it too. One of the states was wanting to withhold water from Georgia and it would have affected two of Georgia's lakes. I suspect there will be another lawsuit starting up soon.

I would hate to live in that area and have to hear about it all the time. We have enough fights of our own around here in eastern North Carolina. At least we're not battling over water -- yet!
