Water Crisis
What did I learn? I learned that one of the main problems with these is that the populationover the nineteen millions demands an amount of water that doesn’t exist.
How can I apply this to my life? I can use it as a prove to tell people that we should be moreinterested in this issue and help it out
Abstract: Mexico’s urban areas generate 243 cubic meters of wastewater per second of which 25% drain off somewhere into theland-/cityscape, and only a third of which is treated. This does not account for leakage of pollutants due to waste and refuse such as Mexico City’s “Bordo Poniente”, theworld’s second largest landfill site that receives 12.5 thousand tons of waste on a daily basis. In addition, deforestation and land use change threaten hydrologicalcycles and the replenishment of aquifers.
