Title: CONSERVATION & MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR LAKE
Authors: Singh, Ritu Raj

Abstract: Our lakes are subjected to anthropogenic pressures leading to a state of eutrophication due to direct addition of nutrients and opening of nutrient cycles which by default exceed the resilence value of the lake systems thereby adversely effecting the water quality and delimiting the use of water besides causing siltation and reduction in depth of lakes. . The present work is aimed to study the artificial lake chilla formed due to Bhimgoda barrage across the river ganges. The 2.5sq km of lake has a contributing catchment area 249sq km of chilla range of Rajaji national park. The lake offers an excellent opportunity for luxuriant proliferation of fisheries and avifauna within its limits and much desired utilizable stagnant unlimited water resource for terrestrial wildlife species within Rajaji National park. It makes possible the study of parameters defining water quality within the lake (In-Situ) and catchment area (Ex-Situ) with a comparative changes in resource condition due to translocation of human population to outside its catchment area and suitability of such translocation at other area. The conservation & management plan based on actual field investigations, measurements and statistical analysis with detailed literature review aims pragmatically at landscape management encompassing combination of both the lake and its contributing catchment area with conflicting interest by optimization of Ecology & Economy. It sets to harmonize by trading off between traditional use of resources and shrinking habitat for wildlife and suggests as far as possible remedial eco-friendly solutions for sustainable augmentation and utilization of resource
