Which hydrological consequence during Aztec chinampa construction could result in salinization of the soil?

💡 Explanation

When freshwater springs are over-extracted, saltwater intrusion can occur due to reduced hydrostatic pressure, leading to increased soil salinity harmful inhibiting maize cultivation. Therefore soil salinization results, rather than issues with sedimentation, drainage or evaporation which require different physical systems influencing soil composition.
