Army Corps holds hearings over river basin

Public discussion over the re-writing of water management rules in Georgia and two other states is underway this week. The Army Corps of Engineers held one hearing Monday in Kennesaw, with another to come today in Rome. Two other public hearings will be held in the Alabama cities of Gadsden and Montgomery. At issue is the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa river basin, which flows from northwestern Georgia down across Alabama to Mobile. It is that system which has been part of a two-decade-old feud involving Georgia, Alabama and Florida.
