Main Body

Water urban water bodies are essential to manage ecology

Impact of such human encroachment:

1Drosikera-like urban floods are seen due to liking rivers encroached upon seen in drains/sewers are due to litties rivers encroachment
2The biodiversity and nesting sites are impacted - Flamingos in Navi Mumbai are seen less in number
3The function of bodies like filtration dilution of waste is hampered

(a) Eat methods have a large water hyacinth (eutrophication)

4The water bodies thus can seep into groundwater and contaminate the bodies - River Yamuna in Delhi
5The natural flow is restricted by encroachment thus impacting the entire carrying capacity of the water. Though useful for having more land to accommodate rising population

Wright steps are needed to restore bodies:

(c) Amrit Sarovar Initiative have strict punishment for encroachment

Rising Late in MJ is a good example to take note from. We can thus preserve the fragile ecological future

Three seed to absorb pollution in these bodies (a) East (c) Eats methods have a large water hyacinth (eutrophication)
