Known as "the city that never rains in the world", what can Lima rely on to support more than 9 million people?

Lima used to use Rimac River to supply water for residents, but with the development, Rimac River could not meet the growing population. Later, Lima was supplied by water diversion from Amazon River.

Rainy days are very common in many cities. Rainy days have their advantages and disadvantages. Some people like rainy days, while others like sunny days. What if we imagine a city that hardly rains all the year round? I feel as if it hardly snows in the south in winter. In Peru, a country in South America, Lima, its capital, is called "the city that never rains in the world". Lima is the city with the least rainfall in the world, but it has a population of more than 9 million.

Lima has a tropical desert climate, which is located at the eastern edge of the subtropical high in the South Pacific. It is very dry, with no lightning, thunder and lightning, no storms, and snow is even more rare. However, the climate in Lima is very comfortable, which can be said to be like spring all the year round. Moreover, the greening in Lima is very good, trees are shaded, flowers and plants can be seen everywhere in the city, and the air is very fresh, so many houses in Lima are bungalows or even rooftops.

how does this city, which never rains all the year round, support more than 9 million people? This is due to the Rimac River in Ylimaa, which feeds many people in Lima. However, with the development, the Rimac River is polluted and the water level becomes lower, so people can't rely on this river to survive. Therefore, Lima draws water to this city through the Amazon River to supply water for local residents.
