Wetlands play an effective role in flood control by reducing sediment load, recharging aquifers, and carbon sequestration (Carter 1986; Ford and Bedford 1987; Bullock 1992; Hilman 1998). These areas also have a significant role in deciding local weather and topographic, edaphic, and hydrological variations (Kusler and Riexinger 1986; Bullock and Acreman 2003).
