Water withdrawals over time grow much faster than global population.

So it has to do with our lifestyle.

And he referred to climate change as... An enormous sort of bonus card.

30 to 35% of the available water available

gets lost in leaks in the public distribution system.

Yes.

Yeah, and then on top of that, in Mexico City... Another 10% gets stolen from the system.

So you have around 50% of the water lost on its way to the consumers.

Large parts of the population do not get water at all in Mexico City.

They are not attached, connected with the public water system.

They've never been connected.

Those are the people...

that live in a day zero situation always.

Lower income groups spent a lot of their family income in water.

Sometimes 20% of their whole income.

They are the ones who suffer the most, but the problem affects the whole city.

There's no question about that.
