Did the Nazca Lines actually work as some kind of irrigation map?

Been down a rabbit hole on this for a few weeks now and honestly the irrigation theory makes way more sense to me than most of the mainstream "ritual pathway" stuff. The lines track pretty closely to underground water sources and aquifer locations if you overlay the geological surveys, which feels too consistent to be coincidental.

What really got me was reading about the puquios - those spiral holes nearby that definitely were part of a hydraulic system. If they were already engineering water management at that level, why wouldn't the lines be connected somehow? Could've been a mapping system, markers for where to dig, who knows.

The ancient alien angle still sits in the back of my mind too obviously, but I'm trying to follow the more grounded evidence first before jumping there.

Anyone else looked at the aquifer data? There's a researcher called David Johnson who did work on this years ago and it seems like it never really got the attention it deserved. Curious if anyone here has dug deeper into his findings or found anything more recent that either supports it or tears it apart.

Not my usual area but I find this one interesting. The irrigation angle was pushed quite seriously by David Johnson back in the late 90s wasn't it - he reckoned the lines pointed toward underground water sources called puquios. Some of the trapezoid shapes do seem to correspond with aquifer locations when you overlay the maps.

What I'd want to know is why you'd need lines visible from the air just to find water. The Nazca people lived there, they presumably knew where the wells were. Unless the lines were more of a religious acknowledgment of the water rather than a practical guide to it - like marking something sacred rather than signalling where to dig.

Has anyone here actually looked at the puquio system itself? That strikes me as the more interesting mystery honestly.
