Wetland

Real World Example

Imagine your kitchen sink, which sometimes overflows when the drain gets clogged during dishwashing. Just like how your sink experiences periods of being filled with water and then draining away, a wetland is an area of land that is periodically underwater, depending on factors like rainfall and water flow. In this analogy, the sink represents the wetland, the overflow corresponds to the flooding periods when the wetland is submerged, and the draining process is akin to the times when the water recedes, leaving the land exposed.
