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

Famous quotes containing the word problems:
“More than a decade after our fellow citizens began bedding down on the sidewalks, their problems continue to seem so intractable that we have begun to do psychologically what government has been incapable of doing programmatically. We bring the numbers down—not by solving the problem, but by deciding it’s their own damn fault.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
