There are 4 main types of Freshwater Wetlands in North America; Ponds, Marshes, Swamps, and Peat bogs. A Marsh is usually found near a river, lake or tidal waters. Marshes are subject to periodic flooding, and the water level can change drastically in a short amount of time.

Wetlands in temperate climates experience warm summers and cold winters. Wetlands in tropical climates may have temperatures as high as 122º F (50º C)! Wetlands receive varying amounts of rain. Some wetlands receive as little as 6 inches (15 cm) of rain each year.

The holding capacity of wetlands helps control floods and prevents water logging of crops. Preserving and restoring wetlands together with other water retention can often provide the level of flood control otherwise provided by expensive dredge operations and levees.

Water levels vary seasonally (usually becoming drier in the late summer and fall, and having more water in the spring or after heavy rainfalls), even those that get their hydrology from groundwater. When we have extended dry cycles or drought, even open-water wetlands can go completely dry.

Common direct impacts to wetlands include filling, grading, removal of vegetation, building construction and changes in water levels and drainage patterns. Most disturbances that result in direct impacts to wetlands are controlled by State and Federal wetland regulatory programs.
