Hey there! 🌎 Have you ever thought about where our water comes from? 💧 Well, the United States and Mexico have a special agreement from way back in 1944 to share water from big rivers like the Colorado River.
But guess what? For the first time ever, the U.S. has said “no” to Mexico’s request for extra water to help the city of Tijuana. 😮 That’s never happened before!
So, why is this a big deal? 🤔 Water is super important for drinking, farming, and keeping our cities running. When countries share rivers, they need to cooperate to make sure everyone has enough.
This decision might affect people living in Tijuana who rely on that water. It also shows how important it is for countries to work together, especially when it comes to resources we all need. 🌐
What do you think about this? How would you feel if your town didn’t have enough water? Let’s all remember to appreciate and save water whenever we can! 💦
