Justices give Fla. another chance to prevail in water war

摘要

The Supreme Court today handed Florida a partial win in the long-running Southeast water wars, reviving the state's case against Georgia over water use in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin.rnIn a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that the Sunshine State had made a "legally sufficient showing" supporting a cap on Georgia's water consumption in the basin, despite the fact that the Army Corps of Engineers - which controls water flows in the region - was not involved in the litigation.
