Chimalpopoca was the third tlatoani ("the One Who Speaks", or Aztec 'emperor').
During his reign Chimalpopoca undertook several construction projects in Tenochtitlán, including a causeway spanned by wooden bridges that connected the city to Tlacopan on the western shore of Lake Texcoco, and the construction of a new wooden aqueduct between Chapultepec and Tenochtitlán to supply the city with fresh water.
