Space images show Mexico City sinking
Mexico City is built on soft alluvial soil and groundwater is gradually sinking due to over-extraction. As a result, roads, buildings and infrastructure are being damaged, and water shortages are also increasing. NASA-ISRO satellite images show that parts of the city are sinking significantly every month. Experts warn that if this trend continues, major water shortages and urban disasters may occur in the future.
