    I believe that’s called a wetland. Good news: it does double duty as a river filter too! Bad news: it stinks, bugs love it, and you can’t built riverfront property there.

        There was a guy who basically just dug a lake and let plants grow (in portugal I think?). In just a couple years a bunch of endangered species turned up, including herons. I saw a documentary about it several years ago, but I couldn’t find it.
