"The Supreme Court today handed Florida a partial win in the long-running Southeast water wars, reviving the state's case against Georgia over water use in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin.
In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that the Sunshine State had made a "legally sufficient showing" supporting a cap on Georgia's water consumption in the basin, despite the fact that the Army Corps of Engineers — which controls water flows in the region — was not involved in the litigation.
The case, though, is far from over.
Justices ruled only on a narrow threshold question and sent the litigation back to a court-appointed special master for further findings on a number of evidentiary issues."
