Mash
This is a low flat land completely or partiallycovered by shallow water. The water is about knee deep in most parts while it is less in many parts. The clay soil holds the water while the grass and lilies help to reduce evapouration. There are two types of mash:
Temporal and permanent mash.
Temporal mashes are seasonal occurring during the raining season and drying up during the dry season.
Permanent mashes contain water throughout the year. They are close to the rivers or seas. Plants that live there include lilies, floating ferns, duckweeds, water lettuce, algae while animals include water birds, leeches, frogs, tadpoles, larvae of insects
