Here's an archeological survey of Teotihuacan, which was a Mesoamerican city from around 1000 years before the Aztec but in the same general area. The city covered 37 square kilometers in total; with 22 of those being a dense, planned urban grid of stone structures.
For context, Rome's walls covered around 13 square kilometers (which is also around the size/area of Tenochtitlan, the Aztec captial), though Teotihuacan was less densely populated then either rome or tenochtitlan, with "only" 150,000 people (which would still put it in the top 10 or top 15 most populated cities in the world in it's height) since rather then cramping it's commoner citizens into tiny single room homes like them, virtually it's entire population were living in fancy palace complexes, each with a dozen to a few dozen rooms, open air courtyards, painted frescos on walls, fine statuery and ceramics, etc.
The city (as did most large Mesoamerican cities) had a complex water mangement systems, with an interconnected series of agricultural canals which flowed from and into a river which was canalized throug the city's grid layout, with some of the city's complexes also have toilets and running water; and drainage syste,ms in cases of flooding which drained into said river. One of the city's plazas could also be intentionally filled with water uch like the Roman Colosseum.
I don't have a lot of studies saved/on hand for general info for teotihuacan, but here's two papers I know of on it's water mangement systems:
