Researchers warn that when wetlands are lost or drained, the amount and arrangement of water storage in a landscape changes, potentially altering how water is transferred downstream. Understanding these shifts matters for evaluating how prairie landscapes respond to climate variability and land-use change. The point is being shared in environmental and climate-focused discussions.

Why now: Growing attention to wetland drainage and its role in flood and drought resilience under climate change.
