|January 12, 2015 <br> [[Water in Mexico City: Artificial Scarcity]] <br> ''Tenochtitlán is now Mexico City; one of the largest, most chaotic, amazing cities on Earth, but with 24 million inhabitants it is also one of the thirstiest cities in the world. Water scarcity and flooding are recurrent problems in the city, this causes low quality water, diseases and despair. Overexploitation of the Valle de México aquifer, generated the need of bringing water from Cutzamala river, located 130 km away from the city. The water has to be transported and distributed through a very old, rusty and complex pipe system. At the same time, the rainfall accumulates in the concrete surface of Mexico City causing devastation on its way to be mixed with the wastewater and drained to Hidalgo.''
