摘要

This chapter involved showing some ways forward forWetland wetland restorationWetland restoration and protection considering their ecological and societal importance. In first part, this chapter tried to model restoration sitesModelling wetland restoration sites majorly thrusting on specific conditions on which the existing wetlandsWetland are surviving. Supervised classification approaches using maximum likelihood classifierMaximum likelihood classifier (MLC) and support vector machine (SVM) were adopted for restorable site identification. Both the models showed restorable sites are located within the major wetlandWetland tract of the river basin. Most of the cases the restorable sites are very contiguous to the existing wetlandWetland. The used models exhibited that about 41–122 km2 area could be restored. Moreover to do this, the study recommended releasing ecological flowEcological flow from the damDam for regular inundation and revival of tie channels and floodplain fluvial passages. Since, damming was identified as a one of the major causes for flow reduction in river and wetlandWetland loss, so ecological maintenance of flow downstream is very crucial.
