Abstract
The Mansar wetland in Jammu and Kashmir has its own importance in terms of livelihood and sustainability for the inhabitants residing nearby. Because of its scenic beauty, religious and recreational importance, the wetland is under great anthropogenic pressure not only by local residents but also by tourists from different parts of the country. Severe changes in the ecology of the wetland including deterioration of water quality and land use and land cover changes (LULC) has been inflicted as a result of the influx of domestic sewage, animal excreta, agricultural runoff (fertilizers and pesticides), detergents and setting of several boating stations, construction activities in the vicinity. Land use and land cover (LULC) changes in the wetland catchments are the direct and indirect consequence of human actions to secure essential resources. So, looking at the multifarious benefits and importance of the wetland, the present study has been done to assess the water quality and land use dynamics due to Anthropogenic Interferences. The present study is primarily based on primary sources of data and satellite data. Collected data has been assessed to draw the conclusion based on identified objectives.
