The Cutzamala System is the source of water for about six million people in Mexico City and the surrounding state of Mexico, but its stores are now at their lowest level in 27 years. Climate change has fueled the water stress.
Infrastructure also plays a role, with leaks plaguing the network that transports water up to Mexico's high-altitude capital.
