Crux of tri-state water war focus of public meetings

The crux of the tri-state water dispute between Florida, Georgia and Alabama is the topic of five public meetings scheduled for next month.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will discuss how it operates the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee Flint River basin.

Lake Lanier residents and Georgia lawmakers have long criticized the Corps for continuing to operate the lake by a manual last updated 50 years ago.

Georgia meetings will be held in LaGrange, Marietta and Gainesville.
