The United Nations declared 2021-2030 the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration

In this Anthropocene era, human interference can be seen in every component of Earth’s ecosystem. Due to such human-mediated changes, the loss of freshwater habitats such as lakes, ponds and wetlands, as well as their aquatic biodiversity and water quality are becoming a major concern. 

Freshwater ecosystems are of enormous ecological importance and human need (such as drinking water and inland fisheries). Freshwater habitat, mainly urban and peri-urban wetland ecosystems, requires special attention for wise use and a sustainable future. 

Wetlands are of enormous ecological significance and one of the most important ecosystems on Earth. Often called “nature’s kidneys” and “nature’s supermarket”, wetlands support millions of people by providing food, and water, and controlling floods and storm surges.  

In India, according to National Lake Conservation Programme (NLCP), lakes can be defined as “waterbodies which have a minimum water depth of 3 metres, with a surface area more than 10 hectares and minimum or little aquatic vegetation”. 

When referring to shallow lakes (less than threemetres deep) with abundant growth of aquatic macrophytes. Because of its shallow nature, sunlight penetrates the bottom of the water body.
