The Blesbokspruit wetland is important because first of all it is a wetland recognised as 'the third most important ecosystem on Earth'; and it is a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, this regardless of all the anthropogenic activities that have been decreasing the quality of this wetland since the 1990s.

The Blesbokspruit wetland is close to Springs on the East Rand in Gauteng. Like all wetlands the Blesbokspruit wetland plays an important role in the ecology of the environment: it slows down the flow of the floodwaters, reducing flood damage
wetland destruction
Increasing land use changes, wetland drainage, and water quality problems.
i think the wetland will absorb the water being poured and it will get collected as groundwater ..
The pH of water entering a wetland differs from water leaving a wetland because the soil and vegetation typical of wetland areas naturally purify water, and contain microbes that can convert sulfates into sulfides.
Wetlands help moderate the effects of flooding and drought, serve as natural water treatment areas for chemical and silt removal, and provide a habitat for fish and wildlife. Wetland ecologists are in demand as past and continuing wetland destruction threatens nature's form of water quality management. These professionals work on wetland protection projects that require monitoring, sampling, analysis, research, restoration planning and implementation, and mitigation (artificial creation of wetland areas to offset the loss of natural ones). Wetland ecologists in the field may have assignments such as sampling water to monitor the quality of fish habitats or taking a census of birds in a certain area.Source:http://environmentalcareer.com/WholeWorldInOurHands5_NaturalResources.htm
