Mexico City is sinking

The capial of Mexico was originally built on a lake in the 1300s. The Aztecs then filled the lake in and built on top, and then when the Spanish invaded they built a new city on top of that. Now, residents get most of their water from what used to be the lake underneath - but drinking it all causes the city to sink about 3 feet a year!
