	The Hindu : Ecological disaster awaits Vembanad lake
		The Vembanad backwater system, which is the largest of its kind on the west coast of India, may soon turn out to be an ecological disaster due to the largescale pollution of its waters, indiscriminate exploitation of its resources and human intervention in the form of reclamation of land and other encroachments.
		In the parts of the lake along the coastal areas of Alappuzha district, coconut husk retting and associated operations contribute heavily to the organic pollution load.
		On the pollution of the lake in the Kuttanad region, Dr James noted that the major cause of pollution is the overuse of agro-chemicals especially pesticides.

	Alarming fall in water
		Dubbing this as the most alarming finding of the Vembanad Bird Survey 2001, the report points out that barring a few hundred of the species flying over the lake before dawn during the survey, not even a single duck or teal was found in the lake, where more than 25,000 were recorded during 1993.
		The report suggested the creation of a protected area with Pathiramanal and adjoining portions of the Vembanad lake as the core area as part of their recommendations to protect this endangered wetland ecosystem.
		One major drawback of the efforts so far made from different quarters to protect the area was the piece-meal approach and adhocism, in the absence of a master plan and a vision to treat the entire Vembanad lake as one conservation unit, the report says.
