Permanently waterlogged ground (5)

I believe the answer is:

swamp

(Other definitions for swamp that I've seen before include "Seasonally flooded lowland" , "Quagmire; inundate" , "Waterlogged area" , "Bog, marsh" , "Seasonally-flooded lowland" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
