Distribution and Genesis of Wetlands in Nagaon District, Assam: A Geomorphological Perspective
View through CrossRef
Assam is endowed with a large number of wetlands of different kinds. The number and areas of wetlands are variously distributed over the state. Assam has a total wetlands area of 1012 sq.kms with 3514 wetlands representing the highest area under wetlands among the North Eastern states. More than 80 percent of the wetlands falls in Assam regions, which suggest that majority of the regions wetlands originates in the fluvial domain of the Brahmaputra River system. Wetland distribution in district level reveals that Nagaon District has the highest number of wetlands among all the districts of the state. Depending on their locational characteristics, the wetlands are prone to various kinds of geo-environmental problems. Therefore, with growing need of wetlands management, it has become highly imperative to study genesis and development of wetlands.
