Parceling the Waters: Legal and Institutional Facilitation ofAlabama/Georgia/Florida Efforts to Protect and Allocate Water Resources

摘要

This action precipitated formation of cooperative study efforts among the states of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide the factual basis for an 'interstate mechanism' though which the shared waters could be equitably allocated.
