Streams and wetlands and the associated vegetated areas (riparian areas) provide numerous benefits for people and wildlife:

Maintaining water quality. Wetlands are nature's water filters and sponges. They cleanse water by filtering or settling sediment and absorbing and breaking down excess nutrients and toxic substances. The vegetated areas along streams also filter pollutants that would otherwise reach the stream. This helps to maintain water quality at levels that will sustain fish and wildlife and that are safe for people to play in.
