The disagreements over water between Florida, Georgia and Alabama aren t over even though earlier this year the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Georgia. The states have been arguing for decades with Florida and Alabama accusing Georgia of using too much water.
A plan was put forth six years ago by people who say there is a way to find agreement between the states.
To many, Lake Lanier, just north of Atlanta, is a fun destination. But the reservoir is also metro Atlanta s main source of drinking water. It s near the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River, one of the rivers the states have fought over.

Florida, Georgia and Alabama have been arguing for decades over water. Florida and Alabama accuse Georgia of using too much of it.
Even now that a major case in the 30-year fight ended earlier this year, with the U.S. Supreme Court siding with Georgia, the disagreements are far from resolved.
At stake are delicate habitats in Florida and a once-thriving oyster fishery, jobs and power generation in Alabama, and water supply for south Georgia farmers as well as for most of metro Atlanta.

While state and federal officials have not been able to come to an agreement over how to manage their shared river system, six years ago, a group representing industry, farmers, residents and environmentalists in all three states released a plan they say showed a way forward, with a set of recommendations they say can help ease the problems, without resorting to the courts.
Younger Thliveros triumphs at Seminole
Monday, May 10, 2021
Nick Thliveros of St. Augustine, Fla. brought a five-bass limit to the scale Saturday weighing 21-13 to win the three-day Southern Toyota Series event at Lake Seminole (Bainbridge, Ga.) with a three-day total of 62-11. The son of longtime tour pro Peter Thliveros prevailed by 1-12 over runner-up Matt Baty of Bainbridge and captured the top payout of $37,809 in the division s third and final tournament of 2021.
Settling down in Spring Creek, Thliveros said he fished one 50-yard stretch all week.
Its something Ive had some previous knowledge on, but Ive never really been here at the right time for it, said Thliveros. Ive never been here far enough in the post-spawn to make those fish get in the deeper water.
