Ahmedabad: Nalsarovar, the 60-odd Ramsar site from the city has 4.7 feet, which is less conducive to birds like Flamingo.
There is only 100-strange flamingo seen there, and at the extreme lake tip of the tourism zone.
Interestingly, the pool while near the entrance gate to Nalsarovar has many pelicans, cranes and other birds.
This is the third consecutive year where the surface of the water on the lake is too high for birds.
A senior forest department officer said the migration birds usually began to arrive at the beginning of winter or at the end of August.
This year failed to see Flamingo, cranes and pelicans, where the lake was ever known.
Officials said Lake Bank near the interpretation zone looked like a river, with water makers at the gate barely.
The clerk said it seems that Flamingo and other birds only came at the end of January or mid-February.
The most convenient migration bird when the water level is around 3 feet.
Uday Vora, a former Gujarat forest officer, known for its bird census, “the area that connects Kachchh Bay and Khambhat Bay is a large and low depression.
There are many wetlands with varied sizes that accommodate large quantities and extensive water poultry diversity.
Of the total These, famous Nalsarovar, and a small village pool in Bhaskarpura and Vadla were known among Birders.
But other wetlands were not explored by bird lovers.
Ponds of Chhabali Village, Limbad, Bhadena and Rajpara, among others who are worth explored and people can find various kinds of birds on This pool, including Flamingo, Pelikan, and Crane.
We must now start conservation efforts in these villages too, “Vora said.
Officials said this was the third consecutive year when the lake would overflow until March.
In January, the annual number is scheduled and with high water surfaces will reduce the number and officials must go to the nearest village pool.
A senior officer in Gandhinagar said the water release from Canal Narmada had made the surface of the water rise in Nalsarovar.
“There is no branch of Canal Narmada who passes near Nalsarovar or the catchment area,” said a senior officer.
“But the study of the Department of Forest found that Air Narmada was released into the Bhogavo River and Narmada’s canals overflowed into a small rivulet that was empty to Nalsarovar.” This caused an increase in the lake water surface, the officer said.
The clerk said that in 2019, the lake was dry until the end of July.
It was the longest dry mantra in Nalsarovar since 1987.
In 1987, it was dry until August.
Although the lake also dries in 2002, the water flowed in the last week of June 2003.
In 2019, when the rainy season ended, the lake had almost 6 feet of water.
