- Authorities in Mexico are urging people to conserve water as a prolonged drought over 85 percent of the country depletes reservoirs and lakes.
Scientists are saying the climate crisis is altering rain patterns which has also contributed to severe forest fires.
Mexico City's mayor says the drought is the worst in 30 years.

#Mexico #MexicoDrought #MexicoWaterShortages
you can always hear about shortage of water but never about shortage of coca-cola in Mexico
That's why Mexicans are amongst the most obese people in the world.
@@krnpowr yet one of the hardest working people tho
@@alfredoolivo3951 that's not in doubt
@@krnpowrIt’s the Unites States fault lmao. The trade policies between the two countries have made both sides fat af 💀
@@zucc3039 No, dude. You have to blame the incompetent Mexican government for failing to provide affordable clean water to their people and not educating their people to the negative ramifications of drinking soda all day.
What about the illegal siphoning of Mexican water reserviors to fuel avocado farms in Mexico? Why is that not addressed as a factor in the drought?
Because profits are far more important than human lives from their perspective.
@@jsolorio07 exactly money changes everything
@@jsolorio07 Isn't that is what happing in the USA with the golf course ,pools and water parks ? Disney alone must use millions of gallons of water a year .
@@rosaliamartinez8956 yeah. But Mexico is the one most hurting for water.
@@jsolorio07 Seriously ? How about the factory's and car plants that Americans come and built and have been known to dump thire toxic wasted into some city systems . Let's not forget the oil spills that reaches the Mixcsn shores . You dont see the American oil co. Cleaning up their mess in Mexico . The last oil spill sabout six years ago made the beach in Baja un unusable for years . I won't bother what gets thrown into the Ensenada beaches from the many Cruise Ships that come from the U.S . They come and do their bad deeds on the Mexican side knowing well how much money they would have to pay in America if caught doing this pollution . How ma,y countries beaches have bee. Polluted by the many oil spills?
This summer is going to be rough. The world is going to be on fire. I live in Oregon and we definitely are going to have a rough summer. We've had less rain than I've ever experienced. I've never seen Oregon this dry in my life. It's going to be really rough summer.
That's half the world. The other half will be under water, suffering from severe flooding.
@@krnpowr You are probably right 😩
Your last video on palestine has no sound!!! Please repost it with sound!!!!
Hello, we are studying the water resource problem of Mexico City and have participated in the 2020IFLA International Landscape Design Competition for graduate students, and we have the honor to enter the final. The final is required to be presented in the form of video, most of which are dynamic expressions of our design drawings. At the same time, we sincerely hope that the current situation of water resources in this video can be quoted to help the judges understand the current situation of water resources in this city of Mexico. We sincerely hope to get your permission, and we will thank you very much
The hard times 😢🙏🏾
More areas are becoming drier with less rain.
This could be the future many places around the world could experience, even those places you would not imagine. Climate change is a bigger threat than the current one we are all facing.
The problem is people illegally pump huge amounts of water upriver and leave little for people downriver to use it
It might have something to do with 14-32 million gallons of water per fracking well. They have created this disaster.
Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of
drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
Snow storm covered 2/3'ds of US this past 2020 winter.
There should be plenty of water around.
this we can blame on USA.
NO WE DONT TAKE CARE OF MEXICO ITS THE POORS PLACE ON EARTH NEXT TO THE RICHEST THINK ABOUT THAT
This is trumps fault
Biden been in power 2 years already. Can’t blame this on Trump buddy. We did not have empty shelves during Trump years and run away inflation. I hope you like high inflation under Biden.
Pobre burritos. La gente mala Le pone chingos de peso a Los animalitos.
So tell me Trump.... is it still a hoax?
Imran khan billion tree tsunami is the right move to counter climate change
Anche coesto missing analysis
I thought Mexico was orange???
