Population
The Maya population seems to be considerably influenced by water control for agricultural production. The population in the Mayan societies is crucial because for their agricultural production systems they need a certain population size in order to maintain the success of these production systems. According to Lucero (2002), maya civilization seemed to deviate from the many examples documenting the close relationship between the control of water and political power.

The Mayans who lived in the lowlands and tropical rainforests, had smaller amounts of issues. The reason they didn't have to deal with as many issues was because they were closer to natural water sources. These natural water sources in the lowlands helped a lot with maintaining successful growth during growing season and in the off-season. The lowlands helped incredibly when malnutrition and diseases came into effect in Mayan civilization. They helped because the lowlands had agrotechnology which helped decrease issues that were occurring within the Mayan society.
