Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET)

The Wetland Evaluation Technique (WET) is a systematic method used to assess the quality and functions of a wetland. It considers factors such as the wetland’s size, plant diversity, water quality, and its role in supporting wildlife and filtering pollutants. By scoring these aspects, WET helps determine the health and ecological value of a wetland, guiding conservation and management decisions. Essentially, it provides a standardized way to understand how well a wetland is functioning and its importance within the environment.
