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:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
