Socio-ecological wetland preservation in a water-scarce city.
Author(s): Dibyendu Jha

Abstract
Wetlands in metropolitan areas with limited water availability often encounter substantial challenges as a result of conflicting need for water resources and land use. This article explores the many dimensions of preserving wetlands in socio-ecological environments with a specific emphasis on a case study from [City Name]. We examine the interaction between biological services of wetlands such as their ability to regulate floods and maintain biodiversity and socio-economic aspects including the demands of urban growth and community involvement. Through the incorporation of geographical analysis policy evaluation and stakeholder interviews we identify significant obstacles and potential advantages for the successful preservation of wetlands. The results of our research emphasise the need of using multidisciplinary methods that prioritise both ecological integrity and socio-economic requirements. We strongly support the use of adaptive management measures and increased public awareness. This research enhances our comprehension of how cities may effectively integrate environmental sustainability with urban expansion providing valuable information for politicians and conservationists operating in comparable circumstances.
