Inundation

What's the difference between an 'inundation' and a flood?

I was wondering the same thing; I'm going to be bold and change it to the common term "flood". If I'm wrong, feel free to revert my changes. --Bletch 03:16, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, that is bettter :) Nanahuatzin 10:26, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It was probably originally written by a native Spanish speaker; the Spanish word for flood is inundación. Just FYI. Lhoriman —Preceding comment was added at 00:43, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rio Moctezuma (Montezuma)

Agree with the removal of the recent addition, which had in effect stated that the Rio Moctezuma (Montezuma River) had been a natural outlet of the lake. From the sources I've seen there has been no superficial drainage of the lakes since at least the late Pliocene. Perhaps that edit was meant to refer to the artificial drainage that was subsequently employed, in particular the Gran Canal del Desaugüe completed in the Porfiriato period, which drained the lakes northwards via canals and a tunnel into the Rio Moctezuma - Rio Panuco system. If I get some time in the next couple of days will look to add some refs and expand upon it.--cjllw ʘ TALK 08:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flood? Then how.....

If the lake was drained due to frequent flooding, then does that mean at some periods the whole ancient city of Tenochtitlan would be under water? How did the aztecs adopt to such a cause? And is the island where the city was once built upon out of the water? Just curious due to the whole nature of it all. Dengero (talk) 00:18, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, initially Tenochtitlan suffered frequent flooding, until they build the dam system. Ahuizotl died after he was in a hurry, and hit his head to the door, when he received the news that the new aqueduct he had built, was causing a water overflow, that enventually flooded the city. Why they chose such a place?... one, there was no place left in the valley, and the will to create their city, was the force that united them as a nation. The Artificial Island that was Tenochtitlan, is now under Mexico city, in center of the city. Most of Mexico city, was part of the lake. Nanahuatzin (talk) 10:08, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
