Description
-
Wetlands are ecosystems saturated with water, supporting unique aquatic vegetation and providing essential environmental functions such as water purification, flood control, carbon storage, and biodiversity. Key wetland types include swamps, marshes, bogs, and fens. Springs are points where groundwater emerges to the surface, contributing to perennial streams. The Nilgiris region features hard rocks like granite and gneiss, which undergo weathering processes that affect groundwater movement. Soil in this area, particularly lateritic soil, is rich in iron and develops from extensive weathering. Overall, the Nilgiris showcases a complex interplay of geology and hydrology.
