格鲁吉亚恢复允许沿弗林特河建造新的农业井,结束了长达十年的禁令。 Georgia to resume permitting new agricultural wells along Flint River, ending a decade-long ban.

格鲁吉亚将在4月1日开始接受下弗林特河沿岸地区新农业水井的申请, 此前美国最高法院裁决驳回佛罗里达州指控格鲁吉亚过度用水的诉讼。 Georgia will start accepting applications for new agricultural wells in areas along the lower Flint River on April 1, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that rejected Florida's lawsuit accusing Georgia of overusing water. 此举结束了2012年干旱期间实施的长达十年的禁止钻井新井的禁令。 The move ends a decade-long ban on drilling new wells, imposed in 2012 during a drought. 新的水井必须停止在严重干旱期间作业,以保护弗林特河的水位,并必须连接到浪费较少的灌溉系统。 New wells must stop operating during severe droughts to protect water levels in the Flint River and must be connected to less wasteful irrigation systems.
