The city of Matamoros, Mexico gets all of its water from the Rio Bravo. When the river dried up a few years ago the city woke up to the possibility of losing their water supply.
In order to create a new 'culture of water' the Water Detectives were born, children whose job it was to monitor the use of water, reporting waste and educating adults about water conservation.
The result: an 18% reduction in water use in the first year of the program, and a generation of children who will never use water the way their parents did.
