Los escasos mapas de redes de flujo construidos hasta el presente muestran un flujo somero anual equilibrado con recarga y descarga local y circunstancialmente, en las estaciones de máxima precipitación y mínima evaporación, con predominio de la recarga lo que favorece la formación de bajos inundables. En síntesis se trataría de una capa freática con tendencia natural a ser plana, transformada por acción antrópica en una conjunción de formas radiales...

"Inundables" doesn't necessarily mean that they are wetlands. See the following examples by presumably native English-speaking authors:

: If these are lowlands adjoining a watercourse or body of water it could mean floodplains, but since the ST suggests they're talking about subterranean aquifers, I think this is the best option on what we know.

Thanks, Charles. I agree. That's why I didn't suggest floodplain.

The lowland wetlands
Low-lying wetlands/ floodplains might be further options;

: Wetlands is not the same thing as 'flood-prone lowlands'. The latter can be fertile and tillable when they're not flooded.

floodplains
I suppose the term "flood-prone lowlands" is more specific for agricultural lands, not for wild biological communities.
Maybe, the term "floodplains" would be a better option here, as it has a more general meaning.

baden-inundable
While the source text evidently refers to the natural geofluvial phenomenon, in the Valencia region of Spain the "baden inundable" is also a common traffic feature, for example in underpasses which quickly fill up with floodwater after heavy rains. The query brought to mind this one: "Llegar desde la carretera de El Saler ya es una odisea porque atraviesas un temido puente - badén inundable, pasas varias rotondas horrendas y luego el acceso está muy mal indicado."
