NASA Satellite Reveals Mexico City Sinking Over 2 cm Monthly

A new satellite co-developed by NASA and India's ISRO, named NISAR, has revealed that parts of Mexico City are sinking by more than two centimeters per month. This phenomenon, primarily due to groundwater extraction, has been affecting the capital for decades. The advanced satellite technology allows for near real-time monitoring, which could aid urban planning and risk mitigation efforts.
