    Mexico City is used in this text as an example of a place where much water is wasted and to make us believe that we could all live well enough using water in more careful ways.

    During the last years, we manage to get the water we need to live more and more easily in all the developed countries, and that is why we don't think about the importance of using it properly. However, many different associations are working hard in order to take some measures as a solution for the problem.
