Abstract
The wetlands of Uttar Pradesh are resourceful
station for water birds during migratory and breeding season, their
biogeographic distribution is significant in the ecosystem of the area. The
eastern zone of Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) is gifted with natural wetlands and nearby
increase in industrialization and anthropogenic activities, had raised the
contaminants of the area, which resulted in change of dynamics and distribution
of local and migratory water bird diversity. In this study we have correlated
the significance of water birds with wetland ecosystem. The information
available on wetlands pollution, plume modification, weather variation, bird
population, migration flyway used, breeding performance, feeding habits,
contamination level in the eggs, tissues, feces of the region is used, the
response had been segregated and analyzed. The results depict that water
turbidity, habitat modifications, heavy metal deposition, micro plastics are
stressors affecting the wetland health and affecting the decline of water bird
diversity. The future conservation potential may be expanded based on
geospatial applications and remote sensing technology for the wetland mapping
and biomonitoring of the region. The polluted zones may be segregated for
strategical survey and mitigation of polluted wetlands for restoration and
conservation of natural habitat. The water birds may also be effective bio
indicator of pollution in mapping structure, being the living entity nesting in
the ecosystem, it indicates the endpoints of changing condition of the
ecosystem.
