While metro Atlanta is ahead so far in a decadeslong struggle over water in the Chattahoochee River basin, stakeholders downstream remain in the fight. To them, Hall County's proposal to build Glades Reservoir to support its 2060-era population - projected at 800,000 in plans submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - feels somewhat like a dirty punch. Just as folks in the north end of the basin have a tendency to simplify the tri-state struggle as people versus endangered species, there are those in Florida - and in Georgia cities that border Alabama - that focus on Atlanta's growth, and consequential wealth, at everyone else's expense.
