- @Cwmhiraeth: is there another hook perhaps? all creatures who live in water would be threatened by water pollution after all (and the species has "water" in the name). Just wondering? MPJ-DK 22:43, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- True, but not many are endangered and have such a requirement for pure water as this species. The clothes-washing is mentioned in the source and I had imagined it referred to hand washing of garments in the stream. How about
- ALT2:... that even such domestic activities as the washing of clothes can threaten the survival of the endangered Mexican water mouse? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:07, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
