Wetlands and Pollution Reduction 
Wetlands are vital
ecosystems that play a crucial role in reducing pollution
and maintaining environmental balance
...These diverse habitats are found all over the world and are known for
their ability to filter water, sequester carbon, and provide a home for a wide variety of plant and animal species
...This process helps improve water quality and protect
aquatic ecosystems from harmful substances
...
Silted 
This phenomenon plays a crucial role in shaping the characteristics and functions of
wetlands across the world
...Silted refers to the process by which sediment, primarily composed of fine particles such as clay, silt,
and sand, accumulates in wetland ecosystems
...have significant impacts on the ecosystem: Reduction in water quality due to increased turbidity Loss of habitat for
aquatic plants and animals Altered hydrological patterns leading to flooding or droughts Decreased biodiversity as certain species are unable to adapt to the changed conditions
