Palmiet protects wetlands

Here is a picture of how the palmiet plant protects wetlands during a flood.

This is what it looks like after the waters have receded.

The palmiet completely protects the wetland soil from being swept away.




And here is exactly the wrong thing to do with your palmiet wetland.

At the next heavy rain all this soil will be washed away to some other lucky farmer's land!
