Wetland drainage is the process of removing water from wetland areas, often to convert them for agricultural, urban, or industrial use. This involves constructing ditches, canals, or other drainage systems to lower the water table, making the land more suitable for development or farming. While wetland drainage can provide immediate benefits, it can also lead to environmental issues. Wetlands play a crucial role in filtering water, providing habitat for wildlife, and mitigating floods. The loss of these ecosystems can disrupt local biodiversity and contribute to water quality problems in surrounding areas.
