The Mayans had two different types of wells primarily for practical purposes: one for collecting rainwater and another for accessing groundwater. The first type was often a surface cistern designed to capture and store rainwater, while the second type, known as cenotes, tapped into underground water sources. This dual system allowed them to optimize water collection and storage, especially in regions with seasonal droughts, ensuring a more reliable water supply for their communities.
