Swamps are areas of wetland that have large, permanent areas of shallow, and sometimes deep, water. They can be either freshor salt water. Swamps are very diverse and are important to the world. Despite this, some swamps are drained because of a threat of disease from the insects found in swamps. Swamps are usualyl surrounded by forests or papyrus. All swamps are plentiful in vegetation. Swamps are found in North and South America, Africa, and Asia. Some famous swamps are the Everglades, the Okekenokee, and the Great Dismal Swamp. A very important swamp in Iraq, part of the Arab Marsh, was drained by Suddam Hussein.
