Tortoise wont drink water. Why?

When i was coming home i found a tortiose in the middle of the street. i brought it home and fed it lettuce(not iceberg) and carrots. But still, she does not drink! Help!! She's a Horsfield (or Russian) Tortoise if that helps.

not drinking water

I have a Russian Tortoise too, and they generally don't drink much water. They get most of their water from their food. It's good to have water available for her if she wants it, but it's normal for her to not really be drinking it.
