ABSTRACT: - Climate change is a harsh reality that the planet earth is bound to experience sooner or later. Increased human activities are multiplying the effect of climatic change. Apart from that, pressure on natural resources is increasing which is leading to problems like water scarcity, food shortage etc. Wetlands are a unique natural resource which can be crucial in terms of maintaining the hydrological cycle, recharge of ground water, flood control, acting as pollution filters, providing for irrigation and supporting multiple agro based activities. The wetlands are all the more significant for the study area where they are found in abundance because of its geographical setting, population is dense and natural resources are not managed properly. Their role in combating effects of climate change is important therefore they should be appropriately managed in order to harness their full potential and boost ecological and economic health of the region.
