Mexico City is sinking at such an alarming rate that it's visible from
the space. Imagery from a powerful NASA radar system is revealing
subsidence rates of more than 0.5 inches a month -- making the city
one of the planet's fasting-sinking capitals

The sprawling metropolis, also one of the world's biggest cities,
stretches out across a high-altitude lake and sits atop an ancient
aquifer, which provides around 60% of drinking water for the city's 22
million residents.

Over the years, this aquifer has been so over-pumped that it's caused
the land above it to subside. Over-extraction has also contributed to
a chronic water crisis that has left the Mexico City facing a
potential day zero, where taps run dry.
