Some widely applicable wetland values include: flood attenuation, water purification, and wildlife habitat. When wetlands store water along a larger waterbody, they often serve to attenuate periodic flood waters. The process of storing water also slows water to trap sediment and pollutants caused by over land or upstream water flow. As wildlife habitat, wetlands provide hunting and fishing opportunities.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_wetland

Extractions: Vertical Flow type of Constructed Wetlands A constructed wetland or wetpark is an artificial wetlands , a marsh or swamp created: as new or restored habitat for native and migratory wildlife ; for anthropogenic discharge such as wastewater stormwater runoff, or sewage treatment ; for land reclamation after mining refineries , or other ecological disturbances; and as required mitigation for natural wetlands lost to a development. Natural wetlands act as a biofilter , removing sediments and pollutants such as heavy metals from the water, and constructed wetlands can be designed to emulate these features. Vegetation in a wetland provides a substrate (roots, stems, and leaves) upon which microorganisms can grow as they break down organic materials. This community of microorganisms is known as the
WetlandsPacific - Wastewater Management And Treatment Systems - Nanaimo - Vancou
A site devoted to wastewater treatment, both secondary equipment and constructed wetlands. Questions and answers about wetlands and copies of selected papers presented on wetland treatment.
http://www.wetlandspacific.com/

Extractions: Constructed Wetlands – Our Way WetlandsPacific Corp. installs and maintains onsite wastewater management and treatment systems. Each design is tailored to the individual lot and, where possible, to the preferences of the owners. When coupled with our patented Vegetative Tertiary Filter , valuable yard space can be saved. Your onsite system can now be an attractive garden, a landscape feature, or blend into the natural background. No ugly sand mounds! We have designed, installed and maintain many wastewater management systems for commercial developments. Installed systems include shopping centres, industrial plants, business parks, equipment supply facilities, stores and other businesses. Due to their unique operational characteristics, the design of wastewater management for commercial developments, requires the specialized knowledge we have developed through extensive experience. Wastewater management for subdivisions can be designed in a variety of ways, depending upon the developer's overall business plan. Options range from preparing a legal plan for each lot, which allows the purchaser's to install an individual onsite system to designing a cluster system for multiple lots. There is typically an economy to having more than one lot on a system although the capital requirements are greater.

Research Topics Wetlands From NWRC ) Wetlands are "transitional areas, sandwiched between permanently flooded deepwater environments and well-drained uplands. They include mangroves, marshes (salt, brackish, intermediate, and fresh), swamps, forested wetlands, bogs, wet prairies, prairie potholes, and vernal pools. They often contain more plants and animals and produce more organic material than either the adjacent water or land areas. Aquatic habitats include permanently flooded parts of estuaries and nearshore environments like seagrass beds, rivers, ponds, and lakes. Aquatic habitats are also critical to fish and wildlife as well as economically and recreationally valuable to humans." The Ecosystems Program focuses on six types of wetlands

One of our States, the State of Michigan, has assumed the wetlands regulatory program. Region 5 States vary widely in wetland acres lost, from Minnesota (9.28 out of 18.6 million acres remaining) to Illinois (90 percent of 8.2 million acres lost). Wetlands in our Region are unique to the climate, geology and ecosystems of the Upper Midwest. Below are examples of wet meadows, prairie potholes, vernal pools, forested swamps and bottom land hardwoods, shrub swamps, mangrove swamps, northern bogs and Fens.

Ramsar Convention
An intergovernmental treaty which provides the framework for national action and international cooperation for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources.
http://www.ramsar.org/

Extractions: The Ramsar Convention is the only global environmental treaty that deals with a particular ecosystem, and the Convention's member countries cover all geographic regions of the planet. The Convention's mission is "the conservation and wise use of all wetlands through local and national actions and international cooperation, as a contribution towards achieving sustainable development throughout the world". The Convention uses a broad definition of the types of wetlands covered in its mission, including lakes and rivers, swamps and marshes, wet grasslands and peatlands, oases, estuaries, deltas and tidal flats, near-shore marine areas, mangroves and coral reefs, and human-made sites such as fish ponds, rice paddies, reservoirs, and salt pans. At the centre of the Ramsar philosophy is the “wise use” concept. The wise use of wetlands is defined as "the maintenance of their ecological character, achieved through the implementation of ecosystem approaches, within the context of sustainable development". "Wise use" therefore has at its heart the conservation and sustainable use of wetlands and their resources, for the benefit of humankind.

Extractions: Wetlands Richard A. Bishop and Arnold van der Valk Chapter 9 of "Iowa's Natural Heritage" Published by Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and the Iowa Academy of Science S ETTLERS WHO CROSSED the Mississippi River into what is now northern Iowa were confronted by an almost endless sea of prairie intermixed with myriad lakes and marshes. This great expanse of wetlands must have been an awesome sight to our pioneers. Along with this seemingly endless sea of marshes waves of ducks, geese, and shore birds, and prairie chickens, buffalo, and other wildlife greeted the newcomers. Cries of flushed wildfowl, surprised on a prairie marsh, would nearly deafen an intruder. This was our heritage a vastness of wetlands with a bounty of wildfowl that man apparently could never exhaust. This wonderland of water, heavily laden with nature's riches, was the footprint of the Wisconsin Glacier. This glacier left behind 7.6 million acres of mixed prairie and marshland, extending from what are now Polk and Dallas counties northward to the Iowa-Minnesota border, eastward to Worth, Cerro Gordo and Franklin counties, and westward to Osceola, O'Brien, and Cherokee counties. It leveled the land and gouged out holes and basins that were filled with water when this great ice mass retreated. Some basins were large and fairly shallow, such as Spirit Lake and Clear Lake, while West Okoboji was deep. Many more wetlands ranged in size and depth from shallow lakes down to small, seasonally flooded potholes of an acre or less. In parts of northwest Iowa, our ancestors would count up to 200 of these potholes in a square mile.
