• Irrigation Systems
  The city of Tenochtitlan was built on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. They needed good farming practices to support their large population. The Aztecs devised irrigation systems, built terraces on nearby hillsides, and used fertilizers to increase useage of the soil. The Aztecs planted corn and other crops in the irrigated fields around Lake Texcoco.
