Georgia's top legal official says legal challenges to our state's water rights from Alabama and Florida are hurting efforts to make sure there's enough water for Georgia's growing population.
In Albany today, Attorney General Sam Olens said the amount of rain that falls on Georgia in a normal year is plenty to meet the needs of millions of people and millions of acres of irrigated land.
But court fights over the future of Lake Lanier have hurt planning that needs to be done to figure out how to distribute that water.
"We suffer from a lack of management due to 20 plus years of litigation. If we could just get the other two governors in a negotiating posture instead of a courtroom, we ought to be able to solve this," he said.
In June Georgia won the latest battle in the continuing war over water from Lake Lanier when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by Florida and Alabama.
They wanted the high court to overturn a lower court's ruling that allowed metro Atlanta utilities to continue to tap into Lake Lanier for drinking water.
