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:

    Belonging to a group can provide the child with a variety of resources that an individual friendship often cannot—a sense of collective participation, experience with organizational roles, and group support in the enterprise of growing up. Groups also pose for the child some of the most acute problems of social life—of inclusion and exclusion, conformity and independence.
    Zick Rubin (20th century)
