Georgia takes Florida to task repeatedly in a 126-page document asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the Sunshine State’s water “overconsumption” claims against Georgia. “Florida has brought its case against the wrong party, in the wrong court and at the wrong time,” states the document. Florida filed a lawsuit Oct. 1 against Georgia, drawing out what has been a 20-year water-sharing conflict between Georgia, Alabama and Florida, often referred to as “water wars.”
