Guwahati: One of the largest tourist attractions in the state, Lake Chandubi, was dying because the water reduced half, the Ministry of Forestry officials had revealed.
Worried about the fate of the body of the body, which is home to various flora and fish species, the Loharghat distance office, where the area fell in the Assam-Meghalaya border zone in Kamrup District, has been written to division forest officers (Western Kecatrupup), urged urgent studies with disrupt experts to find out the reasons behind the shallow turn lake.
“While the average depth of Lake Chandubi first 26 to 27 feet before, it has now diminished to around 10 to 12 feet,” said the Shamim Range officer Akhter to Ti.
He told me that the depth of the surface of the water remained about 12 feet near the picnic site site, but in many locations it gets superficial.
“In the past decade, the lake has shrunk.
This is a matter of worries,” he added.
Lake Chandubi was formed as a result of post-disaster consequences due to soaking soaking tectonic dense forests, spread over 450 hectal during the earthquake in 1897.
But forest officials said the lake area had been reduced to around 350 hectares.
“Dilttasi in the nearest area seems to be one of the reasons.
But we need to find out other causes before we lose more areas,” Akhter said.
American Publisher Terminal John Wiley & Sons has published a chapter on Chandubi’s wetland in this book, ‘Wetland Conservation: current challenges and future strategies’.
A chapter titled ‘Economic Value of Slow Land Ecosystems: A study of the role of the emergence of monetary evaluation of the chandubi ecosystem and biodiversity’, has been included in this book, placing a focus on the assessment of ecosystems from wetlands of wet chandubi and rich biodiversity.
Collaborative research experts by the Independent and UN (UNDP) environment (UNDP) stated that Chandubi’s wetlands had great potential to be determined as “Ramsar Sites” “wetland international interests” and estimated that the monetary value of the Chandubi range.
From a minimum of US dollars 49 per hectare per year to US dollar 24390 per hectare per year.
The wetlands are located in the midst of fragile natural harmony.
Rabha tribes are locals who settled around the lake.
Moharana Choudhury, a researcher associated with this study, said Solendang on the lake or other natural environmental phenomena must have decreased depth.
“Because the depth of the lake was created by natural phenomena such as earthquakes, there may be direct or indirect relationships with natural causes for shallow in Chandubi.
A detailed study is needed to find out the real reasons,” he said.
Choudhury feels that it is important to maintain natural resources and sustainability of wetlands given the great potential for ecotourism development.
“The wetlands have various species of flora, especially those found in swamp and fish and water species,” said Deepak Kumar, the environment at UNDP.
