Dave PayneHOST
At its peak in the early 1500s, the city was home to at least 150,000 inhabitants and three causeways connected to a central area full of pyramids, temples, and ritual sites known as the Sacred Precinct.

Mario PinedaNARRATOR
The last two contain fresh water since they drain into Lake Texcoco, but the rest are more or less brackish.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
lake texcoco is by far the largest although its area has been greatly reduced by natural and artificial causes since the coming of the spaniards the largest river of mexico is the rio lerma which takes the name rio de santiago during its steep and tortuous passage from lake chapala to the pacific farther to the south is the rio de las balsas which likewise flows into the western ocean the name means river of the rafts and is given because of a peculiar floating apparatus made of girds tied to a wooden framework that is used on this stream Flowing into the Gulf of Mexico are several large streams, among which may be mentioned the Panuco, Papaloapan, Grijalva, and Usumacinta.
