Problems in The Wetland
In the Wetland, the ecological status of the Kanjli lake, in particular, has been threatened on account of the following issues.
- Extensive growth of water hyacinth due nutrients and pesticides from adjoining agricultural fields
- Anthropogenic pressure and consequent land encroachment
- Eutrophication, particularly due to in-situ decay of hyacinth
- Conversion of wetland for agriculture, human habitation, industrial expansion and recreational activities
- Illegal and indiscriminate fishing causing disturbance to bird life
