In my state we have plenty of cheap water. And a brand new governor who is a MD and not a plitician. Next door in Georgia, they also have plenty of cheap water. But the water use along the state border has been a bone of contention for several years. There is Birmingham on one side and Atlanta on the other, both big growing sprawling cities. Thirsty cities that never had to worry about water in the past.
Brand new governor announced this week that he will not budget the money to continue the fight over water use rights.
Did he just give them permission to divert water to Atlanta without asking us?
