Major infrastructure systems around the world are already at the brink. Remember how low the Thames was last year? There’s no reason to suspect it will improve this year.
Places like Mexico City, a sprawling megalopolis home to 23 million people with net worths ranging from £1 to £80 billion, have been experiencing ever worsening water shortages for years. Their Day Zero, when the entire water system is expected to run dry, was in 2028; now, due to extreme region-wide drought, they’ve recalculated their Day Zero to be 26 June 2024.
What happens when 23 million people can no longer get water in the middle of a tropical summer?
