There are several ecological processes at work: soil bacteria, macro-algae, plant bacteria and plants themselves convert nitrate, and absorb phosphate and heavy metals. The sediments in the waste water settle down. • Status of wise use in East Kolkata Wetlands While the governance and institutional problems can be solved, the elements of external conflict look much stronger and the threat of real estate is more serious, lurking around for a chance to tighten its grip. But with urban growth, the wetlands on the east have been reclaimed, many have atrophied or converted into residential areas. In a series of biological steps, the organic waste in the wetland is converted into fish feed.


The East Calcutta Wetlands, also known as the East Kolkata Wetlands (22 0 27' N 88 0 27' E), are a complex of natural and human-made wetlands lying east of the city of Calcutta (Kolkata), West Bengal in India. The tilt of the land is towards the east, so water inevitably flows towards the wetlands by gravity. While it does not seem that there is consensus on exactly how much— one source claims 0.97% per year, and others simply cite “relentless encroachment” —there are certainly many personal accounts of new developments. Apart from these, EKW acts as a retention basin in general. This causes flooding in the city after a heavy downpour. Despite the clear importance of the wetlands to Kolkata’s livelihood, the EKW are shrinking. The wetlands cover 125 square kilometers, and include salt marshes and salt meadows, as well as sewage farms and settling ponds.
