Detailed explanation-1: -The freshwater ecosystem is mainly divided into three types based on its region – Lotic, lentic, and wetland freshwater ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three basic types of freshwater ecosystems: Lentic (slow moving water, including pools, ponds, and lakes), lotic (faster moving water, for example streams and rivers) and wetlands (areas where the soil is saturated or inundated for at least part of the time).
