    interesting ideas! I will take a look at the links after work tomorrow if I remember.

    The cinampas specifically are hard to replicate exactly because they need a shallow depth and a consistent water table.

    unfortunately

    If we took all the runoff from urban and suburban areas and used it to make wetland agriculture that be fucking rad.

    yes (though I wonder if the pollution would be an issue)

      that's probably true. It'd have to be just wetlands and not the agriculture then, still it'd be a really cool way to bake nature reserves and parks into the planning of cities. Making institutions or local governments responsible for their own runoff would be really cool. It reminds me of a video on the same channel you linked about a plan in the past to draw political boundaries around watersheds. here
