**Claim:** The restoration of the Colorado River to the delta in Mexico had positive impacts.
**Evidence:** First, the water helped to bring back plants and trees that had disappeared. This allowed animals to return, creating a healthier ecosystem. Second, the flowing water improved the quality of the soil, making it better for growing new vegetation.
**Reasoning:** When plants and animals come back, it helps the whole environment. More plants mean more oxygen and better air quality. Also, a thriving ecosystem provides habitats for wildlife, which is important for biodiversity. This helps the delta become a vibrant and balanced ecosystem once again.
