Mechanical digger is working on reshaping the Lower Silvermine wetlands area in Western Cape, South Africa. The reason for this action is to prevent flooding that is caused by climate change. The wetlands have been experiencing excessive reed growth due to increased nutrient inflow, so they are being removed to try and reestablish a natural wetland landscape. This will decrease the likelihood of flooding caused by increased storm events and sea level rise. | |
