Answer A: True

The vegetation in and around watercourses and natural and man-made water bodies (i.e. dugouts and municipal drains) is considered to act as a filter for sediments, nutrients, pesticides and other contaminants. Such buffers can have trees, shrubs, grasses or wildflowers, in any combination. Regulations are in place in most jurisdictions for buffer zones.
