Supreme Court wades into bitter Texas-Okla. feud ahead of expected 'flood of litigation'
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Housing developments are all that grow these days on a parched brown landscape that sprawls out here in all directions. Booming population growth and oil and gas development are wringing the last drops of water out of an area in the grips of drought. But it's a different picture about 100 miles up the highway in southeast Oklahoma. From a helicopter, about 300 feet up, you see lush areas the size of football fields with glistening puddles saturated by the nearby Kiamichi River.
