   * **Hydrology:** Fed by multiple small streams and underground springs, the Orlanda Marshes form a web of shallow pools, vegetation-covered islands, and soft channels. Water levels remain consistent thanks to deep aquifers and minimal seasonal fluctuation.   * **Hydrology:** Fed by multiple small streams and underground springs, the Orlanda Marshes form a web of shallow pools, vegetation-covered islands, and soft channels.
