#19: Mexico City's water crisis: a megacity's thirst

Tap Season 1 Episode 19

In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana explore the unfolding water crisis in Mexico City, one of the world’s largest and most water-stressed metropolises. They unpack the historical and environmental challenges—from the drained Lake Texcoco and sinking city foundations to heat waves and the endangered Xochimilco ecosystem. They discuss how overuse, climate change, failing infrastructure, and inequality converge to fuel this crisis—and explore potential solutions and the resilience of communities facing an uncertain future.
