russ, no need to travel so far afield for water problems... waterdesalination.com MEXICO CITY - In a plaza next to one of this city's most important shrines, the colossal monument to the Revolution, a humble water pipe has become a curious monument of its own to what is, literally, the collapse of Mexico City. Flush with the ground in 1934 when the monument to the Revolution was built, the water pipe now juts 26 feet into the air. Why? Firmly anchored in a hard layer of subsoil beneath the city's shallow aquifer, the pipe has stayed put in the last six decades while the city has fallen away. Mexico City is sinking. So much water has been pumped out from the aquifer beneath it to satisfy the metropolitan area's 18 million residents that the ground is collapsing underfoot at a stunning rate.
