In the light of 'wet land conservation', evaluate this problem.
How does urbanization affect the wet land flora and fauna?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The wet land is used for water storage, rain water harvesting, flood prevention, prevention of soil erosion etc. Indiscriminate filling of wet land for human settlement will destroy the flora and fauna of the area and thus it affects the biodiversity of that area. So there is no storage of water during rainy season resulting in drought.
