Today I am taking you back to the archives to hear how two communities in Bolivia learned to work together and share their water.
People Fixing People Fixing the World welcome to People Fixing the World from the BBC World Service with me, Mayra Anubi.
This is a solutions program that finds people who are trying to make the world a better place.
Today we're taking a look at how two communities in the Latin American country of Bolivia overcame their differences and developed a system to share water from the river that's essential to both their lives.
Up above the tiny village of Santa Rosa in the Santa Cruz region of eastern Bolivia, this waterfall feeds a river called Los Negros.
It's high up in a dense forest.
Bears, jaguars and pumas are roaming nearby.
The river then winds its way downstream, passing orange orchards and wandering cows.
44 kilometers below Santa Rosa, it reaches a town with the same name as the river Los Negros.
It's surrounded by valleys and features, fields filled with crops.
The vegetable growers in Los Negros send their produce in lorries all over Bolivia.
It's one of the most important agricultural areas in the country.
