What are Wetland Infiltration Ponds?  Wetlands defined as area saturated with water  Usually plant species differentiate wetlands from other land forms  Hydric soil – permanently or seasonally saturated in aneorobic (no oxygen) conditions

Functions of a Wetland Water Quality Nutrient retention, sediment traps, biofilters Species Biodiversity Flood Control – Floodplains Groundwater replenishment
