The Sinking City

The main reasons for the water shortage in Mexico City as follows, the city continues growing unchecked and unplanned. The first strains began to show with massive migration in the 1940s; the capital swallowing up one satellite town after another. The population keep raising and poor management of water efficiency. Because of these facts Mexico City is facing the consequence.
2. Meaning
