Drought pits neighbor versus neighbor

Georgia's drought is pitting neighbor against neighbor in northeast Georgia. It's the kind of dispute officials say are more likely as the state is stricken by a historic drought. Neighbors in Oglethorpe County are feuding over a creek that’s nearly dry. The creek flows from a man-made lake. Downstream residents have asked those who live around Lake Oglethorpe to release water to revive shriveled Goulding Creek. But Lake Oglethorpe Association members last month voted overwhelmingly against such a release.
