	Invasive Species In The Chesapeake Bay Watershed Workshop - Water Chestnut
		The first population of water chestnut in Maryland was documented in 1923 in a two-acre patch on the Potomac River outside of Washington D.C. Within a few years, the plant had spread over 40 river miles on the Potomac.
		Water chestnut was found in the Bird River, Baltimore County, in 1955 and subsequently in the Sassafras River, Kent County, in 1964.
		Water chestnut is presently found on the Sassafras and Bird rivers of Maryland, and in a number of ponds including a non-tidal pond above Lloyds Creek and in Urieville Lake in Kent County, Maryland.

		Water chestnut is an annual, rooted aquatic plant with a leafy rosette that floats on the surface.
		Water chestnut, originally from Eurasia, is well established in a few water bodies in northeastern states but it is not yet known in Wisconsin.

	Hormel Foods - Glossary - Water Chestnut
		The water chestnut most common in the U.S. comes from a grassy plant with a submerged stem or "corm" that is a member of the sedges species known as Cyperus and Carex, or the spiked grasses species known as Eleocharis.
		This water chestnut is referred to as the Chinese water chestnut and is grown for the round, small corm that extends out from this plant, providing a crispy white meat that can be consumed raw or cooked.
		Often easily confused with the Chinese water chestnut is the water caltrop grown in Asia and Europe, that is not from the same plant family and therefore, is not the same tuber.

		Dispersal of the water chestnut is limited to the rosettes detaching from their stems and floating to a new area or displacement of the nuts by waves, winds, or human and wildlife interactions.
		Once an area is infested with water chestnut, it is only a matter of time before the channel is deemed unnavigable due to the dense mat of aquatic vegetation taking over the surface waters.
		The highly favorable areas for water chestnut infestations are some of the shallow, slow moving, mucky bottom tributaries of the lake (e.g., Cowaselon Creek).

	Water Chestnut Information
		Since Water Chestnuts are best harvested by hand which minimises damage to the fragile skin, it is important to have soil that is as free of hard debris as possible (stones, woody materials etc.).
		A greater depth of water is tolerated by the plants but they do not prosper Water is drained off prior to harvesting.
		In Asia they are made into a drink by either blending raw chestnuts in water or boiling them or their skins in water for 15 to 30mins and adding a little extra palm sugar to enhance the flavour.

	Water Chestnut - Biological Control of Invasive Plants in the Eastern United States (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The plant produces new leaves from a central terminal meristem in the rosette near the surface of the water.
		The seeds overwinter at the bottom of the water body and germinate during and throughout much of the warm season to produce shoots that grow to the water surface, where the typical rosette is formed.
		The developmental periods (from egg to adult) for both of these weevils appear to be the same as the life span of a single leaf in which the development takes place, which is usually one to two weeks depending on the temperature.

		Water chestnut, Trapa natans, is a highly aggressive invasive plant which can reach 16 feet in length and completely cover surface waters making navigation and recreation nearly impossible.
		In order to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the water chestnut problem and associated control efforts in the region, the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board (CNY RPDB) prepared a summary report in Summer 2002.
