Wetlands aren’t built to protect human life, they will still enable floods to happen regularly. You can build human infrastructure up to the point that a flood is either impossible or next to impossible.
Also dams and other water maintenance infrastructure is critical to ensuring that we don’t run out of water in times of drought which is going to be more and more and more important as time goes on especially in the west as global warming dries it up
But at the end of the day weekends biodiversity is important, the fact that they act as carbon sinks is important, and they should still be preserved.
Both.
