Chinampan

This morning I allowed for moist toroidal farms over Venus. I concluded they cannot carry much water before sinking. But the farmers still want a central reservoir. So let's try this again.

This is an agricultural torus with a difference: a great, gold-covered balloon is tethered above it all. With that, the torus is a third filled with water.

We needn't just let the water sit here. We can stock the water with various freshwater animals like koi and tilapia, and snails. We can even put some Nahua- (or Otomí-) speakers on it to farm its surface by chināmitl. So it too shares a (dry) central Tlatelolco.

These provide watersports for tourists. Lakefront property here is the most precious real estate in the Venus tier.
