Without searching further, wouldn't the page (were it not a disambiguation page) better point to T. natans, rather than E. dulcis as you suggest? +++++++++++++++++ Which one do you think 98% of Wikipedia users are actually searching for?
I admit my search may skew the results in favour of botany (rather than cuisine or popular culture), but since matching "Water chestnut" with T. natans gives 30 times more results, I would say there is a significance to my results.
I'm surprised that the association that seems obvious to you produces less than 1000 Google hits.
