Restoration may improve Santuit Pond's water quality. The restored wetlands may help improve water quality in Santuit Pond, a troubled water body affected by nutrients coming mostly from septic ...
Marshes also improve water quality by acting as a sink to filter pollutants and sediment from the water that flows through them. Marshes (and other wetlands) are able to absorb water during periods of heavy rainfall and slowly release it into waterways and therefore reduce the magnitude of floodin The pH in marshes tends to be neutral to ...
Wetland conservation is aimed at protecting and preserving areas of land including marshes, swamps, bogs, and fens that are covered by water seasonally or permanently due to a variety of threats from both natural and anthropogenic hazards. Some examples of these hazards include habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species.
Constructed wetlands are designed to improve water quality by supporting rooted vegetation arranged to physically remove solids and particulate material while removing soluble nutrients in the water by uptake into plant tissue and supplying oxygen to the water to reduce BOD.
The Holmes County Park District and the Soil & Water Conservation District pursued a $500,000 grant through the H2Ohio program to purchase land between the Holmes County Trail and the Killbuck ...
Wetlands and peatlands serve as buffers for freshwater systems by absorbing pollutants regulating water flow. [19] Wetland restoration projects have been shown to increase the resilience of freshwater systems to acidification and other environmental stressors. [20] Liming is one
Watershed management is the study of the relevant characteristics of a watershed aimed at the sustainable distribution of its resources and the process of creating and implementing plans, programs and projects to sustain and enhance watershed functions that affect the plant, animal, and human communities within the watershed boundary.

The goals of peatland restoration in hydrological terms are primarily to improve the quality and regulate the quantity of water. A peatland as an intact ecosystem is a natural water purifier, it filters and stores organic substances, metals or other toxic matter and retains nutrients. [8]
