The wetlands are the shallow land regions which are occupied with water seasonally, permanently or temporary. These receives water from sources like river, lakes, ponds, rain and melting of glaciers.
The widespread loss of wetlands would have little effect on the overall health of the environment is a false statement because of the fact that wetlands can effect the climatic condition of a region as well these also maintain the biodiversity of the locations where they form. If the wetlands are lost the climatic condition of the locations will be adversely affected and the biodiversity will be reduced.
