    It is the result of the acquifer beneath the city being crushed because there is no water in the pore spaces because the acquifers have been unsustainably drawn, this is the surficial expression of a slow strangulation of Mexico City’s water supply and it is a tragic blow to North America’s most important city.

      North America’s largest city anyway, almost the world’s largest city, if you count the shanty towns. Tokyo and I think somewhere in Indonesia even might have surpassed them in population at least officially. They were at 20 million Metro I think 26 years ago. Not including the shanty towns.
