11 Introduction Water Resource Map of UIB Various beneficial functions of wetlands include life sustaining processes like water storage (domestic, agriculture, industrial usage) protection from storm and floods, ground water recharge, storage for nutrients, erosion control and stabilisation of local climate (temperature, rainfall) and thus helps in maintaining ecological balance. During the recent past wetlands have been recklessly destroyed to create land for development and only in recent years their uses and values have begun to be understood and appreciated.

45 Conclusions The study demonstrated the effectiveness of the GIS based Modeling system in quantifying the hydrological processes and nutrient loads from the critical source areas at the catchment scale. The change in the LULC of the catchment has contributed significantly towards increased nutrient loads at the catchment scale. The implementation of different BMPs can prove quite effective in controlling the nutrient pollution of water body and thus improve the ecological condition of the lake including the water quality
