Abstract:

Eutrophication, primarily driven by nutrient enrichment, has been a growing environmental issue affecting aquatic ecosystems globally. In Gujarat, India, wetlands play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, water regulation, and the livelihoods of surrounding communities. However, anthropogenic activities have exacerbated eutrophication in several wetlands. This study investigates the impact of eutrophication on ecosystem health in two prominent wetlands in Gujarat: Nalsarovar Lake and Thol Bird Sanctuary. Through water quality analysis, biodiversity assessments, and the evaluation of human activities, this paper highlights the severity of eutrophication and its long-term consequences on the ecological integrity of these wetlands.
