Tenochtitlan was built on an island in Lake Texcoco. The lake (and the island setting) was critical because it provided natural defense, transportation routes (causeways and canals), and allowed intensive chinampa (floating-garden) agriculture that fed the city; the Aztecs also built aqueducts to supply fresh water.
