Answer:

They are related because wetlands recharge groundwater aquifers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wetlands have the ability to store water and subsequently infiltrate and percolate the water downwards into aquifers. Other relation is that runoff and stream flow pass through wetlands before entering a water body, these nutrients may be taken up by wetland plants.

Wetlands periodically have different functions, depending on the gradient of the groundwater table and the topography of the land surface.
