🤔No mention of the Coca Cola bottle companies draining the water supplies 💦🥤
At least it was used for drinking
lets talk about the crops of avocados run by the cartels
It's always someone else's fault....
@@user-qr7ee2cp4y research it.
@@Joe-ti7qd Diabetes has become a severe problem there now. Since Cola Cola has full access to the water and residents do not, people drink Coke instead. It's a horrible situation.
Lack of rain fall, cartels, Coca Cola, corrupt politicians, etc. It's not looking good for Mexico and the other countries that are going to experience a water crisis soon.
Good
… no no no no, wasteful use and overpopulation the average person uses 100-175 gallons of water a day, over 100,000 gallons a year … this world, that specific geographical area (especially a dry area like California and Mexico) was never made to sustain tens to hundreds of millions of people using 100,000 gallon of water a year
@@The_Quaalude You think the immigration from Mexico is bad now, wait until 22 million Mexico City residents decide they need to head north in order to survive. Saying "good" is ignorance personified.

A cocacola company should be closed and be charged with ecological disaster easy as that
I was just thinking about that!!!
But we need to keep the private profits flowing.
Maybe just maybe, we should drink less coca cola, for them to reduce their consumption...
Na, the drug cartels keeping mexico down so corruption can rule need ro be closed.
But then how will mexicans make money.
Sh*t up 🙄🤣
It's ironic that a city built in the middle of a lake, by a people who used the lake as a floating garden, is now dry.
After colonizers came in the picture
@@lilpinakeit4190 And totally not because of irrational human behavior and wasteful habits.
@@lilpinakeit4190 Yeah Mexico city was much better off under the Aztecs when the largest buildings were dedicated to human sacrifice and cannibalism...😆
@@lilpinakeit4190 It's mostly because the powers at the time wanted to build there at all costs because it's the geographic centre of the region. Much more important for power projection when you need to walk everywhere. You can't blame the Spanish for wanting to continue to develop the most developed area. And it's not like moving the city would have made much sense until the 1900s sometime as Mexico didn't really focus on foreign affairs that much, and when they started to they mostly just dealt with the USA.
@@tsrmmercy836 it is, the white devils brought the plague with them

They need to address the leaking pipes in the city. 30 percent of water daily is lost due to poor pipes.
Doesn’t matter. They use a lot of groundwater and all the leaky pipes just recharge the groundwater. Not energy efficient, but overall water loss is very little.
With what money?

There really isn’t a water problem. It’s an infrastructures problem….in Mexico City.

@@emmerfarro Oregon is not in Mexico City. I never said that droughts didn’t exist in other parts of the world. There are places where water is running out clearly and obviously.

Makes sense. You're smart.

I’m so distracted by the fact that they’re talking about how hot it is, while the people living there are dressed in hoodies and long sleeves.

It’s all relative. Mexico City is cool compared to other Mexican and Southern US cities.
@@meh4770 that’s very interesting. Thanks!

This serves as an example for all countries and people. All countries need to invest more in infrastructure.
Such a shame not a single dessert hardy tree planted along this lake, they are cutting grass and overgrazing so its just baking in the direct sun and blowing with the wind, humans love to make deserts and pretend that gardening is some silly hobby really don't understand the meaning of life.
what they need to do is PLANT and stop destroying plants that animals can graze on. Parks should be grazed not mowed. Where are the trees along this lake? Water for swimming pools but not for trees? This is how Babylon falls. People are not "infrastructuring" their way out of a conundrum that goes against nature. The solution is so simple its insane how people can't see it. Its a solution that grows in time, people crave instant gratification through political promise and big building projects. That model of modernity is what put the world into this mess. People will build great things again, but we have to get back to the source we literally don't have enough plant life YET to balance weather animals insects of us humans, WE HUMANS are the only animal that can garden and plant the earth and help her restore with the ingenuity it takes to innovate solutions. We can't be putting the cart before the horse, the horse must pull the cart. Our innovations need to work with the flow, not trying to create flow it cannot. The world needs more trees, nations near the equator are letting the entire world down not planting trees and expecting salvation or imagined karmatic debt from white northerners. Plant the land where you stand.
Nope. Too busy breeding, killing and chasing money.
the water is there the last government made the water private to companies.

Those quantities have to be miniscule compared to other agricultural and commercial uses. Curtailing and conserving are good, when done in balance to their need and overuse
I don't understand that reasoning. Most of the soda is consumed by the Mexicans themselves, only a fraction of it is exported but now the companies that make those products are the evil ones? Shouldn't they be the ones that should stop consuming the product so they don't have that issue in the first place? They would consume the same amount of water anyway, in fact it might be more because it wont be only for drinking but also washing and other things.
One solution is to put some kind of covering on top of the water reservoir to reduce water evaporation from the sun. The covering can be floating solar panel that generate electricity, or just some cheap covering.
Thank you for broadcasting this information.
FAKE NEWS you're stupid
This is a serious problem.
Far more serious than they are treating it. Worrying.
I used live in Mexico. The infrastructure of drainage that they have is very old. They don’t maintain it and the very little money that they have either the political people robs them or use it to build stupid things like the Maya train, the airport, the list goes on and on. This is not only a Mexico City problem look up the water crisis in Monterrey NL Mexico. Look up the water crisis in Tamaulipas Mexico. You may think that the recent storm named Alberto would make people mad but it did the opposite they were happy. Rivers were full, areas that didn’t have water were full they did not care about the damage that was done because they had water. What really pisses me off is that they don’t maintain the pipes, people have leaking pipes and they don’t care, they don’t educate people on the importance of water, politicians rob money to use it from themselves, they build stupid things, they install 6 inch pipes on a road and call it “a major improvement” and the politicians take the money instead of investing. People don’t recycle the water it’s just a whole list problems that dates back decades ago. It’s not only a Mexican city problem it’s a national problem in Mexico. If we here in the United States don’t fix our water issues this is us next time. Some people think “well why should I fix this pipe let me have the government fix it” when in reality it should be the people not the government fixing our own pipes of our houses. Some Mexican people don’t fell the crisis because they have water at home so they could careless. As of right-now I don’t see them making any changes to the situation any time soon. Oh and the new president never spoke about the water crisis when she was campaigning.
Since many voted for a socialist, I'd say they're about to get what they voted for. SHITBAUM 2024!!!
Sheinbaum will let the country down and continue the policies of her n@rk0 predecessor.
Stupid is as stupid does, later when they cry about running out of water they'll say 'how did this happen'
Man!!
This should be a top comment, everything you say is 100% true and I also do not see them fixing it any time soon, people in charge have no idea what they are doing, they are going to end up starving the Mexican ppl in the near future. I really fear for Mexico!
El paso in west texas had invested money into having a close looped system where they re use all their water. They get 8 inches of rain for the entire year. Its very possible to do when people are pushed to do it
It's not 'cost-effective'' to build desalination plants...but it is to build factories on the moon.
They can profit if they keep the people paying for water. I made a similar comment here, and it was censored.
@@StatisticallyScrewed Keep trying. We need to spread the word that space travel is not in the people's best interests. The US space shuttle program used our taxes to launch many private satellites and now we are supposed to clean up space debris.
It's about control with the water. I feel terrible for the good folks of Mexico City.
Word salad.
What factories have been built on the moon? I must have missed that one.
@@anitamiller7960 you missed something alright
Mexico is the largest consumer of soda drinks in the world. Soda makers have a part in this.
Soda is poisonous, slow killer
Same thing is happening in Colorado. Yes, we get rain, but with so many people overpopulating the SW the water is unable to make back into the aquafer. Wildlife is thirsting to death, their habitats are dying from drought, yet people from other states are moving here to escape their own overpopulation problems making the problems worse for ALL life. We are using recycled sewer water where possible. The heat is cooking everything with no answer in sight.
Slo Mo Joe sent you an extra 10 million!
Well someone did! Joey could not run a lemonade stand.
Why do humans insist on breeding themselves and this planet to death.

With recent Tropical Storm Alberto and more tropical weather coming into Mexico, hopefully the water situation can improve.
Ebb and flow. With no real functioning infrastructure in place to hold the water, the drought will return.
Tropical storm po boi you mean
@@sandracl8757 Mexico does not have a system of reservoirs, etc??
Most of the population is not very smart so if the storm ends up becoming a natural disaster they will steal each others instead of working together to develop, the water that will fill reservoirs and the water table is likely to become polluted due their bad sewer infrastructure and bad culture of throwing garbage everywhere, then they will complain because they have an illness outbreak and the government does nothing.
Just like in southern Europe. The pipes leak a big percentage of the water, so it never reaches the people and then suddenly there is a draught.
Funny, when Mexico City is literally built on a lake
What an incompetent and illegitimate government
Mexico City is in a horrible location. It is sinking and running out of water …
they are locust.....
Like the west and east coast and Florida, all roting away into the ocean
@@hkm8375 but they keep doing beach restoration projects in FL. It’s so ridiculous. That whole state is gonna get wiped out one day, not that I want that, but the overdevelopment and lack of planning almost ensures it will happen.
Over half of a century ago was a movie which also mentions building settling in Mexico City due to over use of ground water.
Man, we just had a mini scare in Calgary Canada with a main pipe breaking.
I can’t imagine an entire city of millions.
I feel for the people of Mexico.
We're beginning to see why every large empire eventually fails. In every system it is balance that allows it to keep the machine moving fluidly. When things fall out of balance, the entire system fails.
Right on the nail's head. No other explanation we are now in the phase of stock breaking resources (water, food next then meat) and the fall will be swift irremediable and general. No more tourists. Back to medieval times with armed gangs like in Port-au-Prince.
My mom recycles her water too and she doesn't live in Mexico but in the US. Thankful for my mother
Imagine "recycling" gray water in the US. Lol, lmao even 😂😂
@alexarzamendi9475 You've never learned about US water treatment plants have you?
Not climate change but human mismanagement
keep coping, its coming and its real. spend time with the ppl important to you
@secretagentcat we need invest in solyndra solar panels
Socialism
It’s a drought.
It's both. Too many people, mismanagement, and lack of rain perpetuated by rising global temperatures.
Every City has a limit of habitants, when that is broken this happens. We must be in equilibrium with nature and right now we arent
Thing is, the Mexico City water problem goes back centuries, as does air pollution in the city.
What!?!?! But how can this be? They just had tropical storm alberto that dropped 5 years' worth of rain in two days!!!! Were did that water go!?!?!?
It’s shocking that a physicist president elect would lie like that being well aware of the laws of physics. Oh wait, she’s left science and gone into the dark depths of poli-science.

This could've been California as well if not for disastrous atmospheric river filling dams. Wake up people :( Hope Mexico will find a way to fight this crisis
There's no water down there because Coco Cola down there making it all soda
And who is drinking the Coke?

Yea they got people addicted to Cocacola
The taps there do run dry sometimes, it’s a very controversial topic over there though.

That’s 3 months ago and the season changed and it has rained everyday for last 2 weeks and no signs of stopping!
1 step forward 🌧️
10 steps back 🏜️
The desert is going to eventually win
They still need to fix there water pipes and cut down on population. That aquifer is still going to lose more than it gains as the years go by thats why it keeps sinking.
It's like saying global warming doesn't exist because it's snowing outside. People can't see the forest for the trees when they think like that.
Ask the Cartel to fix it. They have all the money.
We need Americans to buy more drugs to help find the water crises in Mexico, it's a win-win situation
Here's an irony for you!! I live in South Texas where it's very hot and dry right now😮 when I go out for walks In the park in the morning , I find bottles of water scattered about some are full and some are partially filled, I see this situation on a daily basis , I use it to rinse my hands I give it to my pets and plants I do the best I can! There is a basketball court there and the kids are alarmingly wasteful with their drinks , there are times when we get little to no rain for months on end😢
Religion and ignorance are the reason why. Many people are ignorant of environmental issues and believe that the earth is infinite in resources due to religious brainwashing. The older Americans think the same way and are wasting gallons of waters everyday. I see American boomers always washing their cars and watering the grass for 5 hours straight, throwing water away. This is why there is also no water in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas. Imagine 50 millions of older Americans doing the same due to their sick mentality brainwashed by their politics and false Christian evangelicalism.
Being wasteful is the American way of life. These days, anyone who talks about conservation is labeled a liberal communist and marginalized. Just ask MAGA about that issue. They'll laugh in your face.
Could you imagine how gorgeous the cities in Mexico could be if all the cartel money was pulled from them and used for the people of Mexico? It breaks my heart. Such a grand country in dire need of proper support, better infrastructure, and so much more.
In México we’ve been recycling and saving water since I can remember and it’s still not enough because of infrastructure issues and lack of planning
Ive got an idea, why not dig more reservoirs?

It's SIMPLE build desalination plants and pipe the water into Mexico City. This what Israel has done and because it has, it can share fresh water with its parched neighbors. Mexico is BLESSED with thousands of miles of ocean. God had made humans incredibly smart and capable -- and the solution is easy.
Indeed. I agree.
We are told it's not 'cost effective' yet we want to build factories on the moon.
Mexico City is far from the ocean and at a high elevation
@@Jon-qu2jg I think it is a couple hundred miles. The US/Russia pump gas and oil hundreds of miles now. Israel has no problem sharing water who are hundreds of miles away.
@@Jon-qu2jg the moon is also and yet here we are going back to build factories there
Ima start selling tap water in Mexico
Unfortunately the cartels are most likely to figure this issue out before the government does. They go for the most profitable business. They sold drugs then turned around and opened drug treatment facilities. Their facilities are actually more successful than the facilities in the U.S. because people are not allowed to just walk out if they experience withdrawls. Now that water is running low, those same cartels will figure out a way to get water to the locals. As long as they are making money.
Don’t blame just the climate. Population has exploded and no new infer structure. Tree huggers need to make their minds up I thought we were all going to be under water by now.
They are all about "forced population reduction" now 🙄.

Gotta protect the skin from harsh sunlight and stuff like mosquitoes. The sweat they soak up is good for cooling as well. I did the same even in 100+degree heat while I worked construction.
Mexico City is 10,000 feet in the air. Its in the mountains. Its about 85ish in the summer. Its gets chilly in the morning and late afternoon, even in the summer
It feels like WE as a species have enough water but WE mismanage this precious commodity..
Mexico decided to authorize coca cola/ Modelo and Corona bottling companies to use their countrie's water ways resources for the production of those products and they also have to use their water to cover their agriculture products. Leaving average citizen of mexico with no water resources for their own city that proves that their government values money and corporations over their own citizens. they get the gov that they voted for

"Their"
Selling drugs.
No pride in their own country. No care for their own countrymen.
@@mollygiovanna1095 Like the U.S. cares for their citizens? What about all the native American people on reservations with no running water? This is a global problem.
@@down-to-earth-mystery-school how do you know I’m American? and if Mexico is better than the us then why is the boarder so crowed with people trying to get in?
Make Coca-Cola pay 💰
Edit: wait. Did the Mexican people who negotiated this deal know this would happen?
Does anyone remember that the wef said" climate change and covid were too obtuse for people to fully understand, but everyone can understand a water shortage".....i remember.....
Imagine living on a planet 70 percent water and where ur living barely surviving on any
Maybe the part about the salt in the water might have something to do with it.
yeah just go drink salt water if you're thirsty. you moron. im sure it'll work out well
Sometimes I think Thanos was right
Today is July 7 ... just checked Mexico City's forecast for 1 week and literally showed its gonna rain for a week straight . hope that helps.
How could we help contain the water better? Would there be negative effects from storing differently
Ask the cartels for money to bring water.
Just ask United States to send them some. We take care of everyone on earth but our own so why not...
As of January 2024, U.S. foreign aid stands at $70 billion, which amounts to 1% of total spending. Ukraine receives $12.5 billion, Israel $3.3 billion, Ethiopia $2.2 billion, Afghanistan $1.4 billion, Yemen $1.4 billion, Egypt $1.4 billion, Jordan $1.2 billion, Nigeria $1.1 billion, Somalia $1.1 billion, South Sudan $1.1 billion, Kenya $1 billion, Congo $900 million, Sudan $850 million, Syria $825 million, and Uganda $790 million. Most of the aid going to Ukraine is in the form of military equipment and that going to African countries is for humanitarian assistance.
Your assertion that "We take care of everyone on Earth but our own..." is not backed up by the facts. 1% of total spending. That's it. A piss in the bucket compared to the $6.3 trillion of federal spending in fiscal year 2023.
Not climate change , bad management and change!. Who doesn't know mother nature likes to rearrange?!😊
Part of it it’s the irresponsibility of people too, during the holy weekend people throw buckets of water on Saturday to whoever walks by. Is so stupid.
Two oceans near by, pump salt water to new reservoir, use fresh water for essentials n salt water for everything else
But the ENVIRONMENT!!!!!...The econazis won't like that
That's a brilliant idea, please show us how it's done since you sound like a leading expert in this topic
