The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously for Georgia in its long-running dispute with Florida over waterWASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court unanimously dismissed Florida's water lawsuit against Georgia on Thursday, ending the long-running legal fight between the two states. The court rejected Florida's claim that Georgia uses too much of the water that flows from the Atlanta suburbs to the Gulf of Mexico. Florida said that its neighbor's overconsumption is to blame for the decimation of Florida's oyster industry. Florida had sought a court order forcing Georgia to limit its use of water from the Flint. Florida’s lawsuit against Georgia was filed directly in the Supreme Court, which is mainly an appellate court but hears disputes between states.
