The Latest Threat to the St. Marys River

As you know, the St. Marys River is a low volume, oligotrophic waterway with a small watershed. Its waters are limited in supply and incapable of absorbing the impacts of over-use. Florida's water consumption creates an ever-growing need and the state looks (in part) to the St. Marys River to address its demands.
