Much more important for power projection when you need to walk everywhere. You can't blame the Spanish for wanting to continue to develop the most developed area. And it's not like moving the city would have made much sense until the 1900s sometime as Mexico didn't really focus on foreign affairs that much, and when they started to they mostly just dealt with the USA.

what they need to do is PLANT and stop destroying plants that animals can graze on. Parks should be grazed not mowed. Where are the trees along this lake? Water for swimming pools but not for trees? This is how Babylon falls. People are not "infrastructuring" their way out of a conundrum that goes against nature. The solution is so simple its insane how people can't see it. Its a solution that grows in time, people crave instant gratification through political promise and big building projects. That model of modernity is what put the world into this mess. People will build great things again, but we have to get back to the source we literally don't have enough plant life YET to balance weather animals insects of us humans, WE HUMANS are the only animal that can garden and plant the earth and help her restore with the ingenuity it takes to innovate solutions. We can't be putting the cart before the horse, the horse must pull the cart. Our innovations need to work with the flow, not trying to create flow it cannot. The world needs more trees, nations near the equator are letting the entire world down not planting trees and expecting salvation or imagined karmatic debt from white northerners.

I used live in Mexico. The infrastructure of drainage that they have is very old. They don’t maintain it and the very little money that they have either the political people robs them or use it to build stupid things like the Maya train, the airport, the list goes on and on. This is not only a Mexico City problem look up the water crisis in Monterrey NL Mexico. Look up the water crisis in Tamaulipas Mexico. You may think that the recent storm named Alberto would make people mad but it did the opposite they were happy. Rivers were full, areas that didn’t have water were full they did not care about the damage that was done because they had water. What really pisses me off is that they don’t maintain the pipes, people have leaking pipes and they don’t care, they don’t educate people on the importance of water, politicians rob money to use it from themselves, they build stupid things, they install 6 inch pipes on a road and call it “a major improvement” and the politicians take the money instead of investing. People don’t recycle the water it’s just a whole list problems that dates back decades ago. It’s not only a Mexican city problem it’s a national problem in Mexico. If we here in the United States don’t fix our water issues this is us next time. Some people think “well why should I fix this pipe let me have the government fix it” when in reality it should be the people not the government fixing our own pipes of our houses. Some Mexican people don’t fell the crisis because they have water at home so they could careless. As of right-now I don’t see them making any changes to the situation any time soon. Oh and the new president never spoke about the water crisis when she was campaigning.

This isn't happening in just mexico, you dingle berries. All the way down past Guatemala. Even the small towns that have rivers going through them all have the bodies of water drying up. Maybe none of you comprehend this because you all live in a small bubble with irrigation water, sprinkler systems, and green lawns but this is the reality of life and what is happening. Ive been to Guatemala and parts of mexico this year and its horrible. Same thing can be said for farmers here in Washington state. They are shutting off the water for irrigation from the farmers because their isnt much to go around and the seasons are getting more and more dry.

Unfortunately the cartels are most likely to figure this issue out before the government does. They go for the most profitable business. They sold drugs then turned around and opened drug treatment facilities. Their facilities are actually more successful than the facilities in the U.S. because people are not allowed to just walk out if they experience withdrawls. Now that water is running low, those same cartels will figure out a way to get water to the locals. As long as they are making money.

Turn water fountains into rain storage captures, and filter water into the city supply. Add more fountains that only display at night, then store just enough for public display, but main purpose is to capture water, and filter it into the city system. Every roof should be a capture system for all water stressed cities! I’m in LaLaLand and the water problem in the southwest is about to get really ugly!
