Wetland Case study_ Riffle Range

Description
-
Rifle Range is a wetland in Kotagiri, surrounded by residential areas, facing encroachment despite its damp environment. Over the past two decades, housing demand has led to increased construction, threatening the wetland's integrity. Historically, the site hosted a distillery, and eucalyptus trees were planted to dry the land for development. The wetland serves as a vital water source for the community, but over-extraction and sewage contamination are degrading water quality. Conservation efforts must focus on raising awareness among residents, regulating water extraction, and improving waste management to restore the wetland's health and ecological functions.
