The Aztecs engineered chinampas, or floating gardens, to increase arable land in the swampy conditions of Lake Texcoco. They constructed causeways and canals for transport and drainage, optimizing trade and movement across the island. Additionally, they built impressive aqueducts to supply fresh water, addressing the essential need for hydration and agriculture.
