Establish Wetland Restoration for Agricultural Water Management

Agricultural landscapes have lost most wetlands, yet wetland restoration could provide flood control, water filtration, and biodiversity benefits while supporting agriculture. The challenge is integrating wetland restoration with agricultural systems to provide multiple benefits. Barriers include land availability, restoration costs, and farmer participation challenges. Without wetland restoration, agricultural landscapes remain vulnerable to flooding while missing opportunities for natural water management. Successful wetland restoration could provide flood protection while improving water quality and supporting biodiversity, potentially creating agricultural landscapes that manage water naturally while providing environmental services.
