Two Georgia Lawmakers Claim Part of Tennessee River is in Georgia

As another solution to the drought, two Georgia lawmakers want Tennessee to share its water with Atlanta.

Republican Senator David Shafer and Representative Harry Geisinger, introduced legislation that would move Georgia's Northwest boundary a mile north.

Which means a section of the Tennessee River would flow into Georgia.

The two cite what they call an old survey that placed the marker below Tennessee's Nickajack reservoir when it should have been in the middle of the river.
