Wetlands are shallow water-bodies, transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems, with high biodiversity and productivity whereas lakes are relatively deep, perennial water bodies where substantial growth of macrophytes is undesirable. The approach and strategies for conservation and management of both lakes and wetlands depend upon the functions they perform and their ecological characteristics. Therefore their conservation and management for achieving the desired objectives, such as water quality enhancement, biodiversity conservation or unique ecological values, need uniform policies and guidelines. These guidelines have been prepared on the basis of the developments and the experience gained in implementing the schemes under NLCP and NWCP. The issues raised by the states during the five Regional Workshops held during the course of the year and the brainstorming sessions with wetland experts have helped us shape these guidelines. In view of the fact that the ownership of the management of wetlands rests with the State Government, these guidelines provide detailed and effective institutional structure required by the State Government for successful implementation and management of wetlands. Integrating wetlands and water resources management ensure that land and water use decisions within catchments do not adversely impact and are able to provide the ecosystem services.
