Florida's side of the debate is basically about the Apalachicola Bay area. They have several concerns.

Florida's economy will hurt if there is not enough water coming downstream. Likewise, Alabama will not be able to sufficiently cool it's nuclear plant on the river without sufficient water levels. In Georgia, it's a matter of drinking water,

The fact is the Water supply is short, (we waist too much of it) this is a world problem not just Florida/Georgia there are Severe Water Shortages all over the World like China, Australia, Mexico even Russia is being hit with this problem.

It's a very complicated issue and I believe that all states (and the Corps of Engineers) would do best to refrain from finger pointing and useless rhetoric and instead increase communications and try to reach a unilateral solution. The solution should, of course, incorporate water conservation strategies.

I couldn't agree with you more, we all need to get on the same page as it were, or our whole world is going to go to Hell in a hand basket.
I know we all are changing the way we use and misuse our current water supply but so much more needs to be done,
We need too stop fighting about it set down and git it done.

As an ecologist that is familiar with those species and their habitats, I would say that even if the Chattahoochee River went completely dry, the mussels and sturgeon would still survive through tributaries and other rivers in the area.

I agree with this to but I think money is the biggest issue.
