Is only Mexico City facing acute water shortage?




Not only Mexico City is facing water shortage! Most of the big cities in developing countries are facing acute water shortage. Bombay, India with good rain fall and enough water reservoirs faced acute water shortage in summer of 2016. Similar water shortage shall bring social unrest in future as population shall increase exponentially. There are no quick fix for this. Desalination plant was talked but no leader took any initiative. Everything forgotten by next monsoon. This is the same story all over big cities in India. Unless population stabilization is implemented quickly, there looks to be chain of problems that will be difficult to solve. Poor shall continue to grind themselves amid shortages. They will not get their voice through the intricate political system. Let us hope India get a good leader.
