water problems! :-(

1.                  Texas has filed a lawsuit against New Mexico with the U.S Supreme Court charging that New Mexico’s pumping of groundwater in the region below. New Mexico states that it is sending the water to the Texas side as required. A state attorney general said in a recent statement that Texas is “ trying to rustle New Mexico’s water and using a lawsuit to extort an agreement that would only benefit Texas while destroying water resources for hundreds of thousands of New Mexican’s”. Texas just wanted more water and they wanted a lawsuit but it did not work because New Mexico proved that they were not doing  such. Texas lost!

2.                 I do not think that the lawsuit was justified because Texas wanted more water and New Mexico could have provided the water but Texas wanted it now so they were unpleasant and unreasonable

3.                This case tells us  the importance of water  but we can not always  share a large amount of water because we need some for our desert/ drought stricken state. We live in a desert and we all know how   important  water is because it is very dry and  it does not rain enough so we need it for our farmers and the way of life in our cities and communities.

4.     I think that we should talk with the U.S Supreme Court and Texas and we can discuss the water laws and talk to one another and come to an agreement in some way.
