The Great Dry State of Texas
By: Hilary Hilton/Austin

In this report I`m talking about the drought in Texas that scares the farmers and all thepopulation. The nine months from October 2010 until August from this year were one of the driest months in Texas.
Because of that the agriculture went down and it had repercussions beyond the stateborders. Because the plants, vegetables and fruits never grow. Because there was few water for them to grow up.
Also the rivers and lakes were with few water so they cant supply water for all thecountries and some of them didn’t have enough water to take a shower or wash their cars etc.
I think that this happens because we don’t take care about the earth we think that we will have everythingalways but it´s not like that. The earth is changing because of us.
