The Mayans practiced early forms of water management. Since underground water was located over 500 feet deep, they depended mainly on rainwater for their agricultural needs. During the time of year that rain fell, it would fill swampy areas called bajos. The Mayans would dig tranches and canals to flow water from the bajos to the crops for use. Due to the rockiness of the soil, this was a very labor intensive process.
The Mayan farmers also would heap mud in the swampy areas to make raised farming beds right in the water. This decreased the amount of water that needed to be transferred to the plants, as the ground moisture was already high.
Cisterns were also built to collect rainwater and to store water collected from natural wells that were found in some areas of the Yukatan.
