Doug, Being in North Texas, I know very little about bogs, marshes and wetlands. However, I had one area that stayed wet from a seep spring. I finally dug it out and made a small pond just so I could have a high spot to drive on. I found out that water runs 2 ways. In the middle of our summertime droughts, the water runs backward into the seep, draining the pond. I'd be careful about spending too much $ without some analysis.
