Mexico will get less water from the Colorado River under a new agreement with the U.S. analysts say it's a sign of strong cooperation despite political differences from ever station KJZZ Alex Hager reports. The new deal is in keeping with a long-standing tradition of Mexico taking less water during dry times. Jennifer Pitt studies the river at the nonprofit Audubon Society. As American states bicker over the shrinking river's future, Pitt says the deal helps Mexico find some stability.
