Abstract
This paper examines how, from the beginning of the 19th century, many states in the western United States have dealt with each other over arguments on the supply of fresh water. It looks at how, during the 1980s, trouble started pouring out because of droughts that occurred and changed the water situation for the three states of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. It analyzes the impact and the consequences of the request by Alabama to to build a new reservoir on the Chattahoochee River, the Flint River, and the Coosa River and how it led to what is now known as as the tri-state water wars.

From the Paper
"When the two other neighbors of Atlanta, Alabama and Florida gathered information of this proposal they realized that since they were situated downstream this would turnout to be a problem for them, as it would ultimately mean less water and also bad quality water. It was stated by Alabama, that considering that they were already situated downstream, the water that came to them already consisted of Atlanta's pollutants. Now by reducing the quantity of water, the pollutants would be even less diluted. This was supported by Florida, that if the more water were taken off from Chattahoochee and the Flint River then they have less water flow in to the Florida Apalachicola Bay and this would ultimately affect their oyster industry that contributed to nearly 70 million dollars of their economy."

Abstract
This essay discuss the horrible murders in Atlanta, GA, between 1979 and 1981, dubbed as the Atlanta child murders.

By carefully following procedures and protocol, the case against Williams was made with scrupulous organization and details and led to his ultimate conviction.

From the Paper
"The media revealed physical evidence was being collected from the bodies, so it was believed the next victim would be dumped in water to remove any evidence that could be linked to the killer. This led to police and FBI staking out an area of the James Jackson Parkway Bridge over the Chattahoochee River. On May 22, 1981, the last night of their surveillance, around 2 am, they heard a splash in the water beneath the bridge, and saw a white 1970 Chevy wagon slowly drive away. The car was stopped, and driver identified as 22-year-old Wayne Bertram Williams. When questioned, he gave them an alibi about going out of town to audition a young singer, but the police found no record of the woman, nor did the address or phone number he gave ever seem to exist."
