It depends on if you're talking about natural wetlands or man-made wetlands. Man-made wetland are probably as you would imagine, lots of shaping of the land, planting and introduction of wetland vegetation, and then flooding of the area. Natural wetlands are a little different in that the area was already pre-disposed to excess freshwater somehow, and nature thrived around it.
Wetlands are the earth's natural purifiers or water filters, if you will. They do us a great service, until, that is, we decide to fill them in and build on them. Which is stupid if for no other reason than anything built on a wetland has a tendency to sink.
