| ( Originally broadcast 2/15/2008) - "Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop…" South Carolina filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court in June opposing plans by the North Carolina cities of Concord and Kannapolis to pump up to 10 million gallons a day from the Catawba river, claiming that a North Carolina law allowing the water transfer violates the U.S. Constitution because it prevents the states from equitably sharing the river. In January the Court appointed an outside attorney as "special master" with broad powers to help solve the dispute. Joining Dr. Edgar to discuss the issues facing South Carolina and it's growing need for water resources are SC Attorney General Henry McMaster and Dr. Bud Badr, Chief Hydrologist with the Department of Natural Resources. |
