Calling North Florida “the Saudi Arabia of water,” folks downstate said it wasn’t fair for them not to have access to our rivers, lakes and streams, as 80 percent of the need was down south, and 80 percent of the water, up here. We stood firm and fought them off, as well as a disastrous plan to create a statewide “water czar” to redistribute our most precious natural resource as the power, money and politicians saw fit. Which is to say, to send it all south. But water wars never end. Some years later the threat shifted.
