Just some quick Google results:
+"Water chestnut" +"Eleocharis dulcis"
(http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%2B%22Water+chestnut%22+%2B%22Eleocharis+dulcis%22)
produces  807 results)

+"Water chestnut" +"Trapa natans"
(http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aunofficial&hs=EKn&q=%2B%22Water+chestnut%22+%2B%22Trapa+natans%22&btnG=Search&meta=)
gives 25,700 results

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?
