The Aztecs place these on marshy land around a lake. Chinampas were actually rafts. They were anchored to the bottom of the lake. They made chinampas by piling up vegetation and reeds on top of the raft to help provide good soil. It was hard to harvest food because the gardens were floating in marsh water. The chinampas solved most of the Aztecs problems, but their main problem was to get more land since their population was growing more and more.

Aztec engineers built a canal or aqueduct to carry water from some springs on the shore out to the island city. The Aztecs grew their city in salty water so they needed to find a way to get clean water. They were used for people to walk between the city and the shore. A raised aqueduct was then built on top of the Chapultepec causeways. The Aztecs  built the causeways out of stones and mud, held in place with more wood stakes.
