It was an unforeseen consequence of the demographic explosion that occurred in Mexico City between 1940 and 1990. By 1940, it had a population of only 1.8 million, which grew to more than 21.2 by 1990. As the population grew, the underground aquifers were depleted, and the city began to sink, by several inches per year on some parts in the downtown.
