Re-wetting is the process of restoring moisture to dry or degraded ecosystems, particularly wetlands. This practice helps to revive the natural water levels, allowing plants and animals to thrive. It can involve techniques like blocking drainage ditches or removing barriers that prevent water from flowing into these areas. The benefits of re-wetting include improved biodiversity, enhanced water quality, and increased carbon storage. By re-establishing the natural hydrology, ecosystems can better support species such as frogs, birds, and fish, which rely on wetland habitats for survival.
