text: Bogs also have a natural capacity to regulate water flow, holding floodwaters like giant sponges and slowly releasing water to nearby streams decreasing the impacts of floods and droughts.
text: Bogs that receive all their water from precipitation (not lakes, glaciers or groundwater) are ombrotrophic.
text: Bogs receive all or most of their water from precipitation rather than from runoff, groundwater or streams.
