Which long-term outcome frequently resulted from the use of chinampas without proper water management techniques?

💡 Explanation

When chinampas lack proper water control, capillary action draws dissolved salts to the surface due to evaporation, concentrating them because the usual flushing action is impaired, leading to soil salinization. Therefore, increased soil salinity, hindering cultivation, resulted, rather than enhanced fertility, because the salts prevent plant growth, nor decreased disease outbreaks, or climate stability which are unrelated.
