It comes down to irrigation and thermo-electric power generation when talking about surface water availability. Water security comes down to delivery and consumption. 40% of CDMX water is lost in delivery and the other 60% is distributed very unfairly. They try to turn on and off water to parts of the city to conserve and distribute for water security more fairly, but that causes siphon backflows that ruin water quality.
Calm down. Mexican president is in ongoing negotiation talks with the cartels on solving this problem. Not cooperating with US officials is a start they said. Should be resolved soon.
4 decades ago, I started my college studies in building design. Back then, a Mexico City's Cathedral (?) was featured as, "25 steps up" to the doors. It became, slowly, 25 steps down (?). As the aquafer emptied and the ground shrank. 😮
Its juarez and other states too where the water smells like chlorine and gas and people are more worried about other things rather than having clean water
American Corporations have bought up water resources for manufacturing in Mexico. Avocado trees require soo much water and nutrients. But people in the states could care less, they want that avocado toast.
How much water goes into manufacturing a silly car I wonder. It's all a big greedy, selfish clown world and these lifestyles we have normalized are wonderful and great but longer term unsustainable with the current population. The reckoning is inevitable
you will never run out of water if you learn to live without society while it still stands. take some gear, go off grid, see how long you can make it, improve every time. get yourself away from the crutch that is only making us worse over the centuries. get back to learning to be sufficient for yourself, cause they hate that.
In all of Mexico, they couldn't find someone who speaks better English? Now we know why they haven't fixed a life-threatening problem, even though they've known about it for 15 years...
I don’t think they realize this drought would be this significant and thought they had a few more years of supply. This is frightening because Mexico City is one of the most populated city in the world / you think they would of made this a top priority
😳 What the heck? Mexico City is running of water and shortage has been known since 2009? What have the Mexican authority been doing? How will people live?? President Biden needs to enact that Executive Order to close the borders with Mexico now because things are only going to get worse!
Crazy how the Mayan train is being built while the water infrastructure for their capital that’s more populated than NY is on its last leg
and has been so for years. but you know how they are down in Mexico: mañana.
Pray for the elderly in nursing homes and Hospitals, children, families.🙏🏼🌾
They turned it all into Coca Cola

Can somebody do something about this like the water shortage is getting pretty concerning 😭
I guess they will have to make a big water filter on the ocean to get rid of the salt to make freshwater or else they’re gonna run out of water
yes only it uses a HUGE amount of energy. If they use wave power then maybe.
Justicia. Avaricio.

1:58 - That's the point of this story: how much money will be lost in tourism. She doesn't actually care about the Mexican people.
drink beer and tequila
Why did they sell it all?? Research why
So why haven’t you fixed it?
I thought they only drink coca cola in Mexico..not water.
Desalination. Its not cost effective enough yet apparently. But the technology is there. Plenty of water but it all comes down to economics
All the man buns and “digital nomads” are going to start moving back to the US 😂
Better than your hairstyle 😂😂🤣🤣

So glad i live in Holland.

Government testing
You couldn’t find anyone better to explain this than a 20 year old?
Let's see the ramping up of lithium mining which uses billions of gallons of water for one ton of lithium...
Mexico hqs water banked at Lake Mead but I doubt they ever built a pipeline to their Capitol.

It’s time to build the wall taller and bigger.
Like it did anything....Mexico wasted their money on it.
Mister...Americans are invading México City and México in generally, and causing gentrification.
Coca cola STEALING all their water👀

Wnats your problem lol
There still are people in Mexico? I thought they all have crossed the borders.
Is hard to say it and know it, but I think this is KARMA
Take your meds
@@RoxysWorld2324 karma is real and careful what you do or say to others 💯
I wish news outlets (and their guests) listed citations/references to the random numbers that are thrown around.
Welcome to Canada 💀🎃🤣
Justin Castro and Jagmeet Singh Guevara next 😂💰

Drink Tequila.
Lopez Obrador need more infrastructure in water 💧 new idea 💡 s .

Why would anyone want to go to Florida? Three quarters of the state is going to be under water pretty soon.
Coca cola STEALING all their water👀
