K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

  • Carp Aquaculture Overwhelms Lake Kolleru Andhra Pradesh, India
    Carp Aquaculture Overwhelms Lake Kolleru Andhra Pradesh, India Thematic Focus: Resource Efficiency, Environmental Governance and Ecosystem Management Why is this issue important? Lake Kolleru Wildlife Sanctuary, a vast shallow wetland habitat, is the sole Ramsar-designated wetland in Andhra Pradesh, India (Ramsar 2002, FAO 2006). It serves as a natural flood- balancing reservoir between the deltas of the Krishna and Godavari Rivers (Nagabhatla and others 2009) and is a source of water for domestic use and irrigation (Venot and others 2008). In spite of its protected status the wetland is under threat. In 1990, the principal land use and livelihood around the lake was paddy agriculture (Figures 1990 and 3a) (Rao and others 2004). Kolleru also traditionally supported a substantial fishery (Ramsar 2002). In the 1990s, commercial aquaculture rapidly expanded in and around Lake Kolleru. A unique, semi-intensive system described as "Kolleru carp culture" developed, and by 2002, was producing 90 per cent of the state’s 600 000 metric tonnes of carp (Ramakrishna 2007).
