← HistoryWhich benefit resulted from Aztec chinampa agriculture employing 'waffle garden' designs?
A)Higher water table capillary action✓
B)Improved wind resistance pollination density
C)Increased flood risk sedimentation rates
D)Reduced evaporative surface soil erosion

Waffle gardens raise the water table because capillary action enhances the upward movement of soil moisture; therefore plant roots better access subsurface water, rather than shallow rainfall immediately running off.
