Which outcome occurs when intensive chinampa agriculture lowers the water table?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil salinization develops, because capillary action draws salts upwards as the water table drops. Therefore, salinization increases, rather than improved nutrient uptake, nitrogen fixation, or disease resistance, all of which require stable water levels.
