Another Take: Why is Mexico City running out of water?

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on March 12, 2024. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.

Mexico City’s residents are approaching a “day zero” where the government will no longer be able to provide them water. A city that was once built on water is now nearly dried up. How did this happen and what is being done to fix it?
