WE WANT OUR WATER BACK!

Georgia governor threatens to sue Army Corps of Engineers
Dispute centers on state's precious water supply

Tuesday, June 20, 2006; Posted: 12:56 p.m. EDT (16:56 GMT)

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Worried that a drought could be looming, Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue said Tuesday the state will sue the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for draining excessive amounts of water from the state's reservoirs.

Water from Georgia is being sent downstream to Florida to protect endangered sturgeon and mussels. Perdue said the state would seek a temporary restraining order to limit the amount of water the Corps could take from lakes along the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River system.

The Corps acknowledged over the weekend that a faulty gauge at Lake Lanier had allowed 22 billion gallons of water to be released by mistake. Carol Couch, director of Georgia's Environmental Protection Division, said the amount of water mistakenly drained would have been enough to support the city of Atlanta for 118 days.

"It is the Corps' responsibility to properly manage the basin and they have failed in their duty," Perdue said Tuesday.

Perdue said talks with the Corps had been fruitless.

yall dont forget that the post said the mussels and sturgeons are endangered...D.R. Cattle, that's why they aint a mainstay in Florida :) ...that's why yall aint aware of them...there aint enough of them left :lol:

Have a good day yall :D
 
arent the sturgeons what jump on the boats and beat on people every year in the suwannee river? jp
 
i dont know about them jumping in boats and beating up people but there are sturgeon in the suwannee river.

the university of georgia also raises paddlefish i believe. (another endangered fish). dams.
 
I thought sturgeons were all up north. I didnt know we had them down here. Fresh water fish isnt it? And mussels, aint they salt water? Im confused.......
 
the sturgeon that most people think about are the ones that live in the great lakes but there are also sturgeon that spend a lot of time in the ocean and migrate into rivers to spawn down here too. we have freshwater mussels in our ponds.
