X-WR-CALDESC:May is American Wetlands Month\nAmerican Wetlands Month is a t
 ime when the EPA and our partner federal\, state\, tribal\, local\, non-pr
 ofit and private sector organizations celebrate the vital importance of we
 tlands to our Nation’s ecological\, economic\, and social health. Wetlands

 ands are renowned for their ability to remove excess nutrients\, toxic sub
 stances\, and sediment from water that flows through them\, helping to imp
 rove downstream water quality and the overall health of waters in our comm
 unities. Studies indicate that\, depending on the type of wetland\, the se
 ason\, and other factors\, wetlands can retain significant percentages of 
 pollutants such as nitrates\, ammonium\, phosphorus\, and sediment loads. 
 Natural wetlands have also been effective in removing harmful contaminants
  such as pesticides\, landfill leachate\, dissolved chlorinated compounds\
 , metals\, and excessive storm water runoff. They are so effective at impr
 oving water quality they have been referred to as the “kidneys” of a water
 shed.\n\nWetlands can absorb excess rain or river water so they protect ag
 ainst flooding. They are a form of green infrastructure that also provides
  recreational opportunities and serves as important habitat for many wildl
 ife species. They are both an effective and economical way to enhance comm
 unity safety while improving quality of life.\n
