The Olmec built their cities near water sources primarily for practical reasons, such as access to irrigation for agriculture, which was essential for their food supply. Proximity to rivers also facilitated trade and transportation, allowing for the movement of goods and resources. Additionally, water sources likely played a role in their religious and cultural practices, serving as sites for rituals and ceremonies. Overall, these factors contributed to the sustainability and growth of their urban centers.
