Newly developed community services, such as schools, shopping malls, and hospitals, often include the development of a new wetland area. What is an
environmental purpose for this wetland area?
to attract non-native species of fish and birds to the area to decrease biodiversity
to provide a source of drinking water to the new homes built in the surrounding area
to act as a property barrier between one community service area and other
development
to store surface runoff and filter out pollutants before they reach the groundwater
source
