Outdated water management and rising demand has placed the Chattahoochee-Apalachicola-Flint River Basin in Georgia, Florida and Alabama, of which Lake Lanier is an integral part, at the top of the country’s most endangered list, according to the Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group American Rivers. In a report released today titled “America’s Most Endangered Rivers,” the group urges the three states to complete a water-sharing agreement as the best means to improve management of the critical resource. “The water conflict that has gripped the region for almost three decades has come to a head with Florida’s U.S. Supreme Court suit against Georgia and the latest attempt by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to update its protocols of managing the basin,” the report states.
