Drained Land

Drained land refers to areas where natural or wetland habitats have been altered by removing or redirecting water through drainage systems. This process often involves constructing ditches, dikes, or pipes to lower water levels, making the land suitable for agriculture, development, or other uses. While it can increase usable land, draining can also disrupt ecosystems by eliminating wetlands that support diverse plants and wildlife, affect water quality, and increase the risk of flooding elsewhere. Proper management is essential to balance land use needs with environmental conservation.
