Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The states could not agree about the regulation of water flowing out of Lake Lanier

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chattahoochee River is a river in the U.S that is part of the border between the states of Georgia and Alabama and it also crosses a section of Florida as the river is around 690 kilometers long. Additionally, around the river, several reservoirs have been created including West Point, Walter F. George, and Lanier. In the case of the Lanier reservoir or Lake Lanier created in 1956 for flood control all the states (Florida, Georgia, and Alaba) through which the Chattahoochee River crosses have rights over the water of the Lake. Because of this, since the 1990s these three states began a legal battle due to the use of water that flows out fo the lake, which according to law should be shared equally by all the states and the flow should guarantee the preservation of the plants and animals that live in the reservoir. Thus, in the 1900s Georgia, Alabama and Florida began a legal battle involving the Chattahoochee River as these states could not agree about the regulation of water flowing out of Lake Lanier.
