Urban Wetland/Water Bodies Management GuidelinesA Toolkit for Local Stakeholders

Introduction

India’s wetlands/water bodies are extraordinarily diverse and play a vital role in maintaining water balance, flood prevention, support biodiversity and food security and livelihoods.

Urban areas have flourished around water, be it river, lake, or springs.

In the rapid pace of urbanization we have overlooked the role of water bodies.

Many city master plans do not even indicate these local waterbodies on map, leading to rapid encroachment and degradation.

1Introduction

The Urban Wetland/Water bodies management toolkit is targeted at providing a set of practical and policy-relevant methods for information collection and

decision making which can be used by those involved in wetland conservation and development planning.

Traditional Water Conservation/Management Techniques

Ahar-pyne system - a traditional floodwater harvesting system, indigenous to South Bihar providing an example of participatory irrigation management.

Some of the biggest pynes, fed a number of distributaries and irrigated over 100 villages.

Ahars and Pynes were collectively used by farmers and they had to synchronize their operations.
