Roughly twenty-one million people live in Greater Mexico City, but estimates show residents take 2.15 times of the water in aquifers than is recharged or recovered, making the city to be in danger of running out of water. According to Wikipedia, about five million people see Johannesburg in South Africa as home, but officials say the failure to reduce people's water consumption could mean the reservoirs in the city dropping below ten percent capacity, meaning the city stands on the verge of running out of water.
