Drought-hit Mexicans assert demands that water sharing with U.S. ends

6. I can see it in the produce here.

Here in El Paso we get the best from Mexico but I've noticed a decline this year due to the drought. As the old saying goes in the west "Whiskey is for drinking, water for fighting." This is the second year in a row of record heat and low rainfall and when the average is less than ten inches a year an inch or two is a big deal. July and August are usually the "monsoon" season, but this year we got very little rain in them. Where I live next to the Rio Grande is a flood plain for the Rio Grande before 80% of its water was held back by a dam for irrigation in New Mexico. This time of year its about the size of a small drainage ditch. So I'm wondering how are you going to get blood out of a turnip.
