Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, is sinking into the ground at an alarming rate, a phenomenon monitored by NASA and visible from space. Surveys indicate a subsidence of nearly 2 centimeters per month, or more than 24 centimeters per year. This situation is explained by the overexploitation of the water table, which supplies 60% of the city's drinking water, combined with the construction of new real estate infrastructure on naturally fragile soil. The consequences are already visible, including a drinking water crisis, road degradation, and continuous land subsidence, affecting millions of inhabitants.
