Among ancient Mesoamerican and southwestern peoples, water was as essential as maize for sustenance and was a driving force in the development of complex society. Control of water shaped the political, economic, and religious landscape of the ancient Americas, yet it is often overlooked in Precolumbian studies. Now one volume offers the latent thinking on water systems and their place within the ancient physical and mental language of the region.
