Simple solution...
Invite the millions of residents to come to the United States...
They will feel right at home when they join the 50-60 million of the vermin already here...

It’s all being hogged by immense cartel-protected avocado farms.

Make the invaders of America pay for border crossing with bottled water. In my insensitivity I could have uttered:”Let them drink tequila.”

Answer:

True. Mexico City has been out of water and above sea level for a very long time.

They should go to Jubail in Saudi and learn how it is done. But what heat source will be used to evaporate the seawater.
Windmills and solar panels wi.ll not present a viable solution. The only dependable standby is the fossil fuel that Mexico has enough of.

Time for the rich Mehicans to lower water level in their swimming pools.

Government is the opiate and detriment of the people.

I don’t think climate change had anything to do with build a multi-million-person city in a high desert. Phoenix will soon be facing a similar problem. The Colorado River never had the flow to supply all the people that live in its watershed. It’s why they call them deserts folks.

They can drain the Rio Grande so that our invaders keep their feet dry. It will also benefit the cartels.

OMG they’ll all be coming up here.

No there are so many foreign nationals passing thru on the way to the US, they can conserve Mexicans citizens for use in the various cartel armies to harvest blood.

This is pretty strange to me. Mexico City was built over the capital of the Aztec empire which was in the center of a large lake.

That would require your government or water-utility company to be pro-active. /s

Only 200 miles from the Gulf of Mexico but its 7500 feet up hill. The energy costs alone for moving that amount of water up gradient would be multiple gigawatts 24/7/365 you would need nuclear power just for the pumping alone. The you need 60kwh thermal or 8kWh electric per cubic meter just to make the freshwater from seawater again a slew of nuclear plants. 22 million is a lot of water at 45 to 100 cubic meters per year per person. That’s a couple billion kWh just for the water production alone.

“This is pretty strange to me. Mexico City was built over the capital of the Aztec empire which was in the center of a large lake.”

The capital of the Aztec empire which held 1.5 to 2 millions total citizens spread all over me so America. The city capital had 100,000 at most at any given time. There is 22 million living in the same area today...you can see the issue it’s self evident. Have you ever been to Mexico City it’s a megacity on par with any Asian megacity the only megacity in North America NYC is a backwater town compared to Mexico City in population and density.

Mexico City is 7500 feet above sea level there is no way you.are pumping water uphill for 22 million people Bruce power the largest nuclear faculty in the world has 8 reactors and that would be about the power needed to pump enough water nearly two miles into the sky for 22 million people. They should ask Israel and Las Vegas to share their water recycling tech. That’s the answer toilet to tap. The Israelis recycle 90% of their water. Las Vegas recycles every drop that hits a drain in the basin. Use the existing water again and again. Outlaw lawns and any consumptive use every drop that hits a drain is cleaned, disinfected and returned to the water supply as reclaimed water. Texas has two toilet to tap in West Texas I worked on one as a hydrogeo they supplement with brackish water to 500ppm via desal that was my part. To replace losses via pipe leaks and yards. Yards should be illegal in arid regions.
