Wetlands play an important role in augmenting water resources and protecting water quality, maintaining balanced ecosystem of the region and providing socio economic benefits in various ways. The direct benefits that, human beings derive from wetlands include more fresh water, helps in the movement of water into streams and rivers, and also production of fish. The indirect benefits include flood control, recharge of aquifer and storm water protection. During the last century, India has lost nearly 50% of its wetland due to human settlements, urbanization, industrialization and agricultural activities. In order to increase the water resource both on the surface and in the aquifer, it is highly essential to protect the natural as well as manmade wetlands including tanks and ponds. Therefore, the wetland management should be given high priority. More new wet lands should be created and developed. In rural as well as urban areas wherever possible, new tanks and ponds should come up.
