The Water Shortage in Mexico

Today, one of the most serious problems in the world is water shortage (Brichieri - Colombi, 2008). The number of people suffering from water shortage is phenomenal: about a third of humans can not access water (Molden, 2010). Therefore, it is important to deal with water shortages. In this article, water shortage refers to Mexico, a national problem (Castro and Heller, 2009), to discuss and analyze solutions to help avoid future water crises.

In Mexico City, Mexico, approximately 30 million inhabitants are emitting air pollution, smoke and waste into neighboring rivers and branches. However, in this case, the shortage of water is also the main cause of the problem. The groundwater well is contaminated with chemicals in the soil of the land that several lakes covered hundreds of years ago. In other places such as Buenos Aires in Argentina, slaughterhouses abandoned the remains of the left side of the Rapurata River because the polluted water eventually decayed. In 1991, about 3,000 cattle lungs were inserted into the river to function as a garbage system. Cow's lungs, dead pigs, horses, cows, fish float every day in the river

Mexico City faces a shortage of water because the underground aquifer to be stored drains faster than make-up water. In addition, disproportionate drainage of the aquifer will cause the city to sink, causing other various problems. Listen to this story and learn about the problems faced by this big city due to high groundwater demand. Traffic that is often considered a city problem has long been a problem in Yosemite National Park. Due to forest fires, parks are occasionally closed due to traffic jams, and hundreds of cars return when they are reopened and enjoy the magnificent natural beauty of the park. Recently, as the number of bear deaths in the park increases, finding a solution to this problem is becoming more important. Please listen to how this traffic jam in this popular national park will affect the experience of wildlife and visitors.

According to a report released by the World Wildlife Fund, about 1.1 billion people worldwide are faced with water shortages. The report also pointed out that at least one month a year, 2.7 billion people are suffering from water shortages. This means that the water shortage is a real problem affecting about 27% of the world's population. Today, I will investigate the cause of the shortage of water, the solution and the influence. We also pay special attention to more familiar issues, especially in California. We discuss currently experiencing drought, the impact of this drought, and what steps are taken to tackle this problem.
