Valley of Mexico floods while homes face water scarcity amid aging infrastructure

The Valley of Mexico, home to over 20 million, experiences seasonal flooding that paralyzes streets while thousands of homes lack water, a paradox experts attribute to a drainage model that discards rainwater rather than capturing it. The report highlights systemic infrastructure failure and missed opportunities for water reuse, though specific data on affected areas or policy responses is not provided. This underscores chronic urban water management challenges in one of the world's largest metropolitan regions.
