NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 26th September, 2017
G.S.R. 1203(E).—Whereas the wetlands, vital parts of the hydrological cycle, are highly productive
ecosystems which support rich biodiversity and provide a wide range of ecosystem services such as water storage, water
purification, flood mitigation, erosion control, aquifer recharge, microclimate regulation, aesthetic enhancement of
landscapes while simultaneously supporting many significant recreational, social and cultural activities, being part of
our rich cultural heritage;
And whereas many wetlands are threatened by reclamation and degradation through drainage and landfill,
pollution (discharge of domestic and industrial effluents, disposal of solid wastes), hydrological alteration (water
withdrawal and changes in inflow and outflow), over-exploitation of their natural resources resulting in loss of
biodiversity and disruption in ecosystem services provided by wetlands;
8 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(i)]
And whereas clause (g) of article 51A of the Constitution stipulates that it shall be the duty of every citizen of
India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have
compassion for living creatures;
And whereas the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 is a comprehensive legislation to provide protection and
improvement of the environment, including inter-alia, wetlands, and for matters connected therewith;
And whereas the National Environment Policy, 2006 recognises the ecosystem services provided by wetlands
and emphasizes the need to set up a regulatory mechanism for all wetlands so as to maintain their ecological character,
and ultimately support their integrated management;
And whereas India is a signatory to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and is committed to conservation and
wise use of all wetlands within its territory;
And whereas the Central Government has published the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules,
2010, vide number G.S.R. 951(E), dated the 4th December, 2010;
And whereas conservation and wise use of wetlands can provide substantial direct and indirect economic
benefits to state and national economy, and thereby the Central Government stands committed to mainstreaming full
range of wetland biodiversity and ecosystem services in development planning and decision making for various sectors;
And whereas the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations need to take into account wetland
ecosystem services and biodiversity values likewise within their developmental programming and economic well-being,
also taking into cognizance that land and water, two major ecological constituents of wetland ecosystems, are enlisted as
State subjects as per the Constitution;
And whereas the Central Government considered it necessary to supersede the Wetlands (Conservation and
Management) Rules, 2010 for effective conservation and management of wetlands in the country;
And whereas the Central Government had, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 25, read with sub-
section (1) and clause (v) of sub-section (2) and sub-section (3) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986,

NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 26th September, 2017
G.S.R. 1203(E).—Whereas the wetlands, vital parts of the hydrological cycle, are highly productive
ecosystems which support rich biodiversity and provide a wide range of ecosystem services such as water storage, water
purification, flood mitigation, erosion control, aquifer recharge, microclimate regulation, aesthetic enhancement of
landscapes while simultaneously supporting many significant recreational, social and cultural activities, being part of
our rich cultural heritage;
And whereas many wetlands are threatened by reclamation and degradation through drainage and landfill,
pollution (discharge of domestic and industrial effluents, disposal of solid wastes), hydrological alteration (water
withdrawal and changes in inflow and outflow), over-exploitation of their natural resources resulting in loss of
biodiversity and disruption in ecosystem services provided by wetlands;
8 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(i)]
And whereas clause (g) of article 51A of the Constitution stipulates that it shall be the duty of every citizen of
India to protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have
compassion for living creatures;
And whereas the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 is a comprehensive legislation to provide protection and
improvement of the environment, including inter-alia, wetlands, and for matters connected therewith;
And whereas the National Environment Policy, 2006 recognises the ecosystem services provided by wetlands
and emphasizes the need to set up a regulatory mechanism for all wetlands so as to maintain their ecological character,
and ultimately support their integrated management;
And whereas India is a signatory to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands and is committed to conservation and
wise use of all wetlands within its territory;
And whereas the Central Government has published the Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules,
2010, vide number G.S.R. 951(E), dated the 4th December, 2010;
And whereas conservation and wise use of wetlands can provide substantial direct and indirect economic
benefits to state and national economy, and thereby the Central Government stands committed to mainstreaming full
range of wetland biodiversity and ecosystem services in development planning and decision making for various sectors;
And whereas the State Governments and Union Territory Administrations need to take into account wetland
ecosystem services and biodiversity values likewise within their developmental programming and economic well-being,
also taking into cognizance that land and water, two major ecological constituents of wetland ecosystems, are enlisted as
State subjects as per the Constitution;
And whereas the Central Government considered it necessary to supersede the Wetlands (Conservation and
Management) Rules, 2010 for effective conservation and management of wetlands in the country;
And whereas the Central Government had, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 25, read with sub-
section (1) and clause (v) of sub-section (2) and sub-section (3) of section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986,
published the draft Wetlands (Conservation and Management) Rules, 2016, vide number G.S.R. 385 (E) dated 31st
March, 2016 for information of the public likely to be affected thereby; and notice was given that the said draft rules
would be taken into consideration by the Central Government after expiry of a period of sixty days from the date on
which copies of the Gazette notification is made available to the public;
And whereas the Central Government has received the suggestions and objections from the State
Governments, Union Territories and its organisations, individuals and civil society organisations on the draft Wetlands
(Conservation and Management) Rules, 2016;
And whereas the suggestions and objections received in response to the above mentioned draft rules have been
duly considered by the Central Government in consultation with State Governments and Union Territory
Administrations.
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 25, read with sub-section (1) and clause (v) of
