Which farming benefit arises when drought reduces chinampa canal water in Aztec maize cultivation?

💡 Explanation

When drought reduces canal water, capillary action concentrates dissolved nutrients from the sediment (muck) at the surface because water evaporation deposits materials. Therefore, soil fertility increases benefiting maize, rather than enhanced disease resistance or accelerated maturity, which typically demand specific biochemistry under differing conditions.
