| Description |
The foregoing account, it is evident that Vembanad Lake, including the Cochin
backwaters is undergoing man-made shrinkage, at an alarming rate and a rough
estimate of similar plans in the future shows that by the turn of this century the area of
the backwater will be reduced to about 17%. Lack of proper planning in developmental
activities has created an imbalance in the ecosystem, ultimately reducing the carrying
capacity of this natural buffering zone.
