It's hard to believe that Bolivia is going to be facing the wather problem in the near future, we had huge H2O reserves at least for us, but now the situation seems to be diferent.

And as always the goverment does nothing about it, anyway I hope that as Bolivian People we can solve this and face it.

Saludos Camaradas Bolivianos!

Only blaming the industrial "rich" nations won't achieve anything. As said in the documentation, it is already too late. The glaciers are almost gone... As long as the current "Gobierno" is more interested in buying presidential planes for 40 Million USD instead of implementing already some counter measures to reduce the impact of the coming draughts, the very first who will suffer and die under the lack of water will be "el Pueblo", which is supposed to be Nr. 1 concern in the Goverment agenda.

El complicado problema del agua va mas allá del calentamiento global, se deben tomar las medidas preventivas que afronten el problema a nivel gubernamental y lograr conciencia social en todo estrato desde la infancia.
