In the upper parts of watersheds, for example, peat type and wet pastures wetlands can act as sponges, soaking up rain water and allowing it to seep slowly into the ground, thereby reducing the speed and volume runoff entering streams and rivers. This means that water levels in the wider channels downstream, also increase in size more slowly, making it less likely that human lives and livelihoods are affected by sudden destructive floods. When the highlands are saturated and unable to absorb more water, surface ponds and vegetation of peatlands, including certain types of forest, arralar and help reduce runoff. On the other hand, the artificial drainage may cause an increased risk of flooding, since the drainage channels transport faster runoff into streams and rivers, to which is added the contraction and erosion of peat dried can be assumed to be more numerous channels through which water can flow.
