Images from @jeromesessini feature in an article published by @longlead reporting on Mexico City’s water crisis, where 22 million residents face breaking point as water pipelines fracture and crucial reservoirs vanish. Titled The Last Drops of Mexico City, the article, co-authored by Sessini and Rodrigo Cervantes, explores the complexities of the crisis, from sealed-off groundwater to soaring temperatures, endangered indigenous floating gardens and beyond, highlighting the metropolis’s shrinking water supply amidst the tangible effects of climate change. “One of the world’s largest and most populated cities may run out of drinking water in the near future. As Mexico’s capital struggles to quench its thirst, scenes from the parched megalopolis show how water scarcity could one day impact cities around the globe.” 🔗 Read the full article at the link in the @magnumphotos bio.
