Which description best explains how wetlands purify water?

• Wetlands slow down the water flow when the water encounters the vegetation. This allows the sediments and pollutants to drop out of the water before the water moves on.

• Wetlands don't really purify the water. They just slow it down and the heat from the Sun makes it hot enough to purify the water before it moves on.

• Wetlands slow down the water flow so that sediments and pollutants can drop out of the water before it moves on.

• Wetlands can't really purify the water because they release the water in large increments which doesn't allow enough time for it to be cleaned.

• To promote hunting activities

• To conserve and restore wetlands
