Democrat news services D.U.I, checkpoint JOHN PAPESCADemocrat States closer to water proposal Florida, Alabama and Georgia are working on a plan to share water. By David Royse THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Florida, Alabama and Georgia gave themselves four more months Wednesday to work out how they should share the water that flows through the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint river basin. They had been working under a tight deadline to conclude several years of negotiations by Friday or risk having one or more of the states go to court over rights to the water flowing out of Georgia into Alabama and Florida before going into the Gulf of Mexico.

But negotiators meeting here Wednesday said they were close enough to an agreement that they didn't want to scrap what they've done so far and gave themselves until May 1 to reach a plan all three states can agree on. "I think all three states are serious about wanting to get an agreement and ensuring it is workable," said Bob Kerr, Georgia's chief negotiator in the talks. In the talks over the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Rint basin, Alabama and Florida complain Georgia takes more than its fair share of water from the rivers. All three states rely on the water for hydroelectric power, drinking water, navigation and recreation. The waters start in Georgia and flow through metropolitan Atlanta where residential and commercial growth siphons some of it off.

The two neighboring states sued Georgia over the issue in 1990, but the three states agreed to try to settle their differences out of court. Doug Barr, a negotiator for Florida, said there is still much to be worked out in the remaining four months. The main sticking point is the amount of water that crosses the two state lines. But the sides also still have to work out differences on how much water Georgia would be able to hold back when there is a drought and how reservoirs are managed. "There are still significant differences," Barr said.

As to whether those differences can be worked out by May, Barr said, "We'll see." 3 Apalachee Pkwy.
