Explanation:

Anasazi represents the ancient external. Similarly as other cultures throughout the agricultural period, in areas with low rainfall, the Anasazi engaged a large number of techniques to develop great yield crops. Kivas, the great stone reservoirs, was utilized by the Anasazi to preserve domestic and farming water.
