One of the world’s biggest cities may be just months away from running out of water

I live in Mexico. I post in Mexico. This IS a frequent topic of table conversations in restaurants. People are concerned. Our news sources suggest over 80% leakage in a system that is broken. NO ONE in Mexico gets a water bill. There are a LOT of things to fix. They have pumped water out of all surrounding lakes and it is getting real bleak. This hopefully will bring about changes.

I was in Mexico DF for a month in the late 80's. It was not long after a big quake and the water service to the house I was staying in was intermittent. For days at a time, there was no running water at all, and if you wanted some, you had to hoof it down to the community spigot and wait in line. So the routine for using the toilet was to have a full bucket next ready to flush, then once flushed, refill the bucket at the community spigot.

I went 9 days without shower/bath during that stretch. All of us smelled pretty ripe by the time the water came back on in earnest.

This Twitter from the WEF suggests that water is the NEXT crisis that will be used to bring people into blind compliance.
