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
