Which outcome occurs when chinampa agriculture is practiced without effective water management on surrounding lake systems?

💡 Explanation

When no effective water management is established, water evaporates as intended, salt concentrations increase, causing soil salinization harming water levels because capillary action draws salty water upwards, and crop growth stops. The saline prevents irrigation with salt water over time, therefore soil salinity increases, decreasing the overall yield on crop amount.
