Tijuana, BC- The suspension of the water service caused the suspension of classes or that the school day be reduced on the first day of return from Easter holidays.
The cut was suffered by the inhabitants of the 632 colonies due to the repair work on the Florido-Aguaje aqueduct, according to Cespt.
Marisela Martínez Quiroz, professor and researcher at the School of Engineering at Cetys University, explained that school impacts should alert the population to take care of the vital liquid, since the shortage could also cause social and economic effects, mainly.
He cited that, according to Cespt, the cuts are currently for pipe repairs, but later they will be for a lack of water, which is being presented in the United States.

The United States has already announced that water levels are critical for them and the reality is that there is no water. We (Baja California) depend on the United States, so if they don’t have water, we won’t have water either,” warned Martínez Quiroz.
Hence, the population takes urgent measures, including avoiding washing sidewalks and cars with the water jet, and reusing it.
“It depends on society not to throw away the water, to use it only when necessary, to reuse what we have at home, such as wastewater from the washing-machine. Do not use the hose, because a lot of water is thrown away ”, he reiterated.
They will make a silent demonstration
On Friday, April 22, International Mother Earth Day, students from Cetys University will hold a silent demonstration, with the purpose of raising awareness about caring for the environment.

Carolina Navarro Armenta, president of the Terra Vita collective and student of Renewable Engineering, acknowledged that it is currently difficult to achieve that goal, since few people feel affected by climate change or pollution.
“People’s apathy is that if I do it, it’s useless, or all the garbage is going to get mixed up, why am I going to do it. People have not tried to do something else and get out of their comfort zone, ”he lamented.
