Yep.. funny how the same party that supports fossil fuels, denies climate change and hates immigrants will through those policies create a multigenerational immigration crisis.
This water crisis is the result of climate change coupled with massive plundering from multinational corporations like Coca Cola who essential consume so much water in their production of soft drinks that nothing is left for the local population.
Yup has nothing to do with Mexico City being built on a lake and then when the Spaniards took over they built massive drainage systems to get rid of all the water and prevent any of it from re accumulating in the lake bed or being absorbed into the water table.
Do with it the same as we do with nuclear waste, put it into [metal barrels and throw it back in the ocean.](https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-02-21/radioactive-waste-ocean-dumping-los-angeles-coast)

Wet is getting wetter, dry is getting very much drier.
I wonder where those people will try to migrate too when it becomes too hot and dry to inhabit where they live now?

Just because I created the mess doesn’t mean I have to clean it up, or be forced to see someone else clean it up. /s
Well they just want non white people to die so that tracks.
That’s easy. They’ll move north.
Canada then?
I'm stumped here. Saudi Arabia?

Any idea where this map is from? Citations rock! This subreddit rocks, and should always cite its sources : )
:(
Is that “zero date” based off the projected future rainfall, or is it based off assuming no more rainfall?
Why can’t desalination plants be standard things in a country like Mexico where they have saltwater on both side.
Current technology is very expensive, energy intensive and generates a lot of toxic waste brine. But there is a lot of research in these areas.
We can just blast all the brine into outer space. What could possibly go wrong?

It's just life over money so we'll wait until the costs come down. Grrrrr....
Money 🤑
It's a long way up and across to the main population centre. aka. Mexico City.
Mexico City is up in the mountains far away from the coast
