Regarding the coming water wars:

I live in the extreme lower right-hand corner of the trapezoid that is Tennessee, near the Georgia border.

Georgia's (especially Atlanta's) water supply has become such a concern that GA's political leaders are now saying that TN's southern/GA's northern border was drawn incorrectly a couple of centuries ago, and should indeed be a mile further north.

That this new border would encompass the major waterway known as the Tennessee River seems to be the driving factor behind the threatened action.

A few years ago, such a plot line would have rendered a movie or TV show ridiculous, but it is on the cusp of becoming a reality.
