DoomsdaysCW<p>One of the world’s biggest cities may be just months away from running out of water</p><p>by Laura Paddison, Jack Guy and Fidel Gutiérrez, CNN</p><p>February 25, 2024</p><p>"Alejandro Gomez has been without proper running water for more than three months. Sometimes it comes on for an hour or two, but only a small trickle, barely enough to fill a couple of buckets.

Instead, he and his family eke out what they can buy and store.</p><p>"When they wash themselves, they capture the runoff to flush the toilet. It’s hard, he told CNN.

Authorities have been forced to introduce significant restrictions on the water pumped from reservoirs.</p><p>"'Several neighborhoods have suffered from a lack of water for weeks, and there are still four months left for the rains to start,' said Christian Domínguez Sarmiento, an atmospheric scientist at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).</p><p>"Politicians are downplaying any sense of crisis, but some experts say the situation has now reached such critical levels that Mexico City could be barreling towards 'day zero' in a matter of months — where the taps run dry for huge swaths of the city.</p><p>Historic lows</p><p>"Densely populated Mexico City stretches out across a high-altitude lake bed, around 7,300 feet above sea level. It was built on clay-rich soil — into which it is now sinking — and is prone to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthquakes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>earthquakes</span></a> and highly vulnerable to climate change.

UrbanNatureBerlin<p>Das Ziel vom Verein <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/TinyForestBerlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TinyForestBerlin</span></a> besteht darin <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Nanowaelder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nanowaelder</span></a> in der <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Megacity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Megacity</span></a> zu pflanzen. Das heißt auf 10-100m2 werden verschiedene gebietseigene Baumarten gesetzt. Die Idee: Konkurrenz zwischen den Bäumen sorgt dafür, dass die Arten schnell wachsen &amp; jene überleben, die den rauen Bedingungen der <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Stadtnatur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stadtnatur</span></a> trotzen. Zur Verteidigung der Bäume werden stachelige Sträucher gepflanzt, die vor Hunden &amp; Menschen schützen.
