* * * Why is wetlands important for Iceland? * * * Wetlands provide habitat for thousands of species of aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals. Wetlands are valuable for flood protection, water quality improvement, shoreline erosion control, natural products, recreation, and aesthetics. Wetlands connected to underground sources of water are important because they retain water and provide time for it to filter down into aquifers. Groundwater provides water for drinking, irrigation, and keeping water flowing in our streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Wetlands play a vital role in the health of the environment. In addition to supporting a variety of organisms, they also reduce water erosion by trapping sediments. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
