Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil either seasonally or permanently. They are important in improving water quality as they act as natural filters, removing excess nutrients, pollutants, and sediment from the water. Wetlands also provide important habitats for a variety of plants and animals. Rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes are not wetlands, but different types of bodies of water. Swiftly flowing water bodies, such as rivers and streams, are not considered wetlands. Intertidal zones are areas where the land meets the ocean and are not specifically wetlands.
