Wetlands are dynamic aquatic ecosystems found all over the world. A wetland is an area of land that is saturated with water either permanently or seasonally. Wetlands can be freshwater, brackish (partly salty), or saline (very salty).
Wetlands are known as the earth's 'kidneys' because, like your kidneys, they serve the very important function of filtering water. As water moves through a wetland, the sediments and pollutants 'stick' in the wetland, making the water cleaner. Wetlands also help reduce flooding and prevent shoreline erosion.
We the People of India are looking up to you to intervene and direct the MOEFCC to ensure that Wetlands (757060) are notified and protected using the all Potent Section 5, along with Section 15, of Environment Protection Act.
