Mud skipper Natural Habitat DistributionSome of these Environments are BrackishBrackish water is water having more salinity than freshwater, but not as much as seawater. It may result from mixing seawater with fresh water together, as in estuaries, or it may occur in brackish fossil aquifers. Axolotl Live in Brackish water in Xochimilco and Lake Texcoco in Mexico CItyThe only Place where the Axolotl Naturally LivesMexico City During Aztec Times, years 1324-1430Lake LifeLake Texcoco has brackish water, Axolotl are able to live there Chinampas (raised crop beds, or “floating gardens”), which provided much of the population’s food. (Nahuatl languages: chināmitl [tʃiˈnaːmitɬ]) is a type of Mesoamerican agriculture which used small, rectangular areas of fertile arable land to grow crops on the shallow lake beds in the Valley of Mexico. A Lake with Salty WaterThe lake is fed from groundwater aquifers; fresh water poured in from Lake Chalco and Xochimilco's freshwater springs, and the thermal springs of Zumpango and Xalcotan, as well as some in Texcoco itself, provide saline water. To overcome the problems of drinking water, the Aztecs built a system of dams to separate the salty waters of the lake from the rain water of the effluents.
