Recent studies of ancient Maya water management have found that the urban architecture of some cities was used to divert rainfall runoff into gravity-fed systems of interconnected reservoirs. In the central and southern May Lowlands, this kind of water control was necessary to support large populations throughout the year due to the scarcity of perennial surface water and the seasonal availability of rainfall. Some scholars argue that the concentration of water within the urban core of these sites provided a centralized source of political authority for Maya elites based largely on controlled water access. Such an argument is plausible; however, it is less useful for understanding the sociopolitical implications of water use and control in other, water-rich parts of the Maya region.
According to the passage, which of the following is true of the water management systems in the central and southern Maya Lowlands?
Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.
选项
A、They were implemented in part because of the prevailing pattern of rainfall.
B、They were an integral part of lowland cities’ architecture.
C、They were needed because of insufficient resources such as ponds, rivers and lakes in the lowlands.
答案
A,B,C
解析
对应the seasonal availability of rainfall。B项对应urban architecture of some cities was used to divert rainfall runoff into gravity—fed systems of interconnected reservoirs。C项对应scarcity of perennial surface water。
