[Aztlan] Chichen Cenote

[David Hixson]

I cannot speak to Chichen's cenote, but the studies
done in the Chunchucmil and Dzibilchaltun area show
that the water flow of the Yucatan aquifer is very
rapid, significant enough to flush most pollutants
(even from modern farming and animal husbandry) to
well above acceptable drinking levels (see studies by
S. Luzzadder-Beach).
