In reality the negative effects of draining wetlands vastly outweighs any benefit you receive. You get habitat destruction for many endangers species, increased risk of flooding, and water becomes more polluted (wetlands help absorb and reduce pollution). That being said draining a wetland can provide some, very minimal, positive effects. First is it creates crop land, most wetland drainage in the US is to create new areas for farmers to grow crops. Secondly is disease control, there are a few water-borne diseases that can be found in wetland as well as mosquitoes that may carry them. However this is really not a benefit with modern medicine and mosquito control that we have.
