DoomsdaysCWOne of the world’s biggest cities may be just months away from running out of waterby Laura Paddison, Jack Guy and Fidel Gutiérrez, CNNFebruary 25, 2024"Alejandro Gomez has been without proper running water for more than three months. Sometimes it comes on for an hour or two, but only a small trickle, barely enough to fill a couple of buckets. Then nothing for many days."Gomez, who lives in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MexicoCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MexicoCity</a>’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tlalpan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tlalpan</a> district, doesn’t have a big storage tank so can’t get water truck deliveries — there’s simply nowhere to store it. Instead, he and his family eke out what they can buy and store."When they wash themselves, they capture the runoff to flush the toilet. It’s hard, he told CNN. 'We need water, it’s essential for everything.'"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterShortages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterShortages</a> are not uncommon in this neighborhood, but this time feels different, Gomez said. 'Right now, we are getting this hot weather. It’s even worse, things are more complicated.'"Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world’s biggest cities, is facing a severe <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterCrisis</a> as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/development" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#development</a> and leaky <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/infrastructure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#infrastructure</a> — are compounded by the impacts of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a>."Years of abnormally low rainfall, longer dry periods and high temperatures have added stress to a water system already straining to cope with increased demand. Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs."'Several neighborhoods have suffered from a lack of water for weeks, and there are still four months left for the rains to start,' said Christian Domínguez Sarmiento, an atmospheric scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)."Politicians are downplaying any sense of crisis, but some experts say the situation has now reached such critical levels that Mexico City could be barreling towards 'day zero' in a matter of months — where the taps run dry for huge swaths of the city.Historic lows"Densely populated Mexico City stretches out across a high-altitude lake bed, around 7,300 feet above sea level. It was built on clay-rich soil — into which it is now sinking — and is prone to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthquakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#earthquakes</a> and highly vulnerable to climate change. It’s perhaps one of the last places anyone would choose to build a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/megacity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#megacity</a> today."The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Aztecs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aztecs</a> chose this spot to build their city of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tenochtitlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tenochtitlan</a> in 1325, when it was a series of lakes. They built on an island, expanding the city outwards, constructing networks of canals and bridges to work with the water."But when the Spanish arrived in the early 16th century, they tore down much of the city, drained the lakebed, filled in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/canals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#canals</a> and ripped out <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forests</a>. They saw 'water as an enemy to overcome for the city to thrive,' said Jose Alfredo Ramirez, an architect and co-director of Groundlab, a design and policy research organization."Read more: <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/one-world-biggest-cities-may-103023024.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.yahoo.com/news/one-world-biggest-cities-may-103023024.html</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCatastrophe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCatastrophe</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Overdevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Overdevelopment</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Colonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Conquistadors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Conquistadors</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AncientTechnology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AncientTechnology</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeHeat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtremeHeat</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalWarming</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mexico</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeDrought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExtremeDrought</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Extinction</a>
