TL;DR Summary

Mexico City, one of the world's most populous cities, is facing a water crisis due to a combination of factors including old infrastructure, climate change, and rapid growth. The city loses 40% of its water due to leaks in the pipes, and the effects of climate change have led to decreased rainfall. This has resulted in widespread water shortages, impacting residents across the city, with some areas experiencing no running water for years. While the city may not completely run out of water, the situation remains critical, and urgent measures are needed to address the crisis.
