There is evidence to support the idea of state involvement, primarily the amount of manpower and materials it would take to build, turn, and maintain the chinampas. However, arguments about state control of the chinampas rely upon the assumption that dikes were necessary to control the water levels and to keep the 2848: 2836: 306: 465: 84:. The word chinampa has Nahuatl origins, chinampa meaning “in the fence of reeds”.
