TL;DR Summary

Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities, is facing a severe water crisis due to a combination of factors including geography, urban development, and climate change. Years of low rainfall, longer dry periods, and high temperatures have strained the water system, leading to significant restrictions on water usage. The city could be heading towards "day zero," where taps run dry for many residents. Experts warn that without significant changes, the city may run out of water before the rainy season arrives. Unequal access to water is exacerbating the situation, with some neighborhoods already grappling with severe shortages.
