Which outcome results when irrigating chinampas with increasingly saline water sources?

💡 Explanation

When saline water is used for irrigation, osmotic pressure draws water away from plant roots because of high concentration of salt resulting in reduced water availability affecting crop yields. Therefore, soil salinity increases harming crops, rather than enhanced growth or improved soil characteristics.
