Answer:

Wetlands contribute to the refilling of aquifers

Step-by-step explanation:

Wetlands are complex ecosystems that range from marine and coastal to continental and man-made. Some examples are lakes, mangroves, swamps and also irrigated areas for agriculture, hydroelectric reservoirs etc. In all, 42 different types of wetlands are classified. Wetlands exist in all types of ecosystems and are important for maintaining biodiversity. Situated at an interface between water and soil, wetlands are complex ecosystems, pressured not only by direct human action but also by impacts on adjacent terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Wetlands contribute to the replenishment of aquifers, which are geological formations responsible for accumulating groundwater.
