Myers Elementary teacher Tiffany Johnston has a new perspective on the decadeslong water-sharing conflict between Georgia, Florida and Alabama, often referred to as “water wars.” She and two other Hall County teachers — her husband, Brian Johnston of Friendship Elementary and Kathy Mellette of Earhart-Edison Exploration Academy at North Hall Middle School — participated in the Georgia Aquarium-led Creeks to Coast Educators Workshop. The workshop took them along the Chattahoochee and Apalachicola portions of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River system, showing them how water from the river is used.
