How do humans affect swamps?

Answer 1

humans seek out new land to build housing and businesses, so they fill in swamps with dirt and rocks to dry them up, and push the swamp land back or decrease it to make room for homes and businesses.

sometimes they dig the swampland out and make artificully deepended lakes for low cost property development then sell it as "waterfront" property which is really just old swampland.

humans also build sewage systems that dump into swamps because they are careless and don't think about the conseqences of this action.

humans may also dispose of other toxic wastes into swampland assuming no one will ever use the swamp as a resource.

Answer 2

Humans affect swamps through activities such as draining for agriculture, urban development, pollution from runoff, and logging. These actions can disrupt the delicate ecosystem of swamps, leading to loss of habitat for plants and animals, altered water flow, and decreased water quality. To protect swamps, it is important to implement conservation measures and sustainable land use practices.
