World Wetland Day

February 2nd, was World Wetland Day! Wetlands are areas where water covers the soil, either permanently or seasonally, including marshes, estuaries, and ponds. These ecosystems are vital for filtering water, reducing pollution, storing carbon, and supporting biodiversity.

“Every drop of water—whether in wetlands, rivers, or reservoirs—is essential for life. Protecting wetlands is a critical step toward safeguarding all water resources for future generations,” said Board President Daniel Slawson.

The Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District proudly supports global efforts to protect wetlands, as their preservation benefits all of us.
