Question

Which people tamed the waters of the Salt and Gila Rivers with the most extensive system of irrigation canals anywhere in precontact North America

Answer 1

The Natives who were able to tame the Salt and Gila Rivers were known as the Hohokam.

Who were the Hohokam?

• They were a Native American civilization that lived in the North American Southwest.
• They constructed extensive irrigation works to use the waters of rivers.

The Hohokam were in dry areas and yet needed water to grow crops and survive. They therefore constructed some complex and extensive canals to channel water to their settlements and farms.
