The Hidrological System in Peatland

     The fungsion of Peatland as hydrological is to storage water. Unripe peatland (fibrik) be able to storage a lot of water, there are 500% until 1.000% from the weight of  moss. Natural peatland not only able to storage water but also for belance the water system (control water system).
     Peatland is a place for reseve and storage water (aquafer) along rainy seasons. In dry seasons peatland released the water did have storage because “evaporation” by the sun). This phenomena is important to prevent the flood in heavy rain and water decrase in long dry seasons (Adrise, 1988).

     Peatland is also be able to separates marin area and tasteless water. With keep belancing both of them, motive the infiltrator of sea water into coastal area and dirty sea water can be done and return to the natural circles (Ricley et al. 1996).
