Several lakes in Kapilvastu district, southern Nepal, are
disappearing day by day due to increasing human encroachment and gradual
siltation. The Jagdishpur reservoir, Ajigrar Lake and many other are on the
verge of extinction but concerned authorities are not paying attention. Ramsar
Convention, of which Nepal is a signatory, states that the loss of wetlands causes
serious and irreparable environmental change affecting the provision of
ecosystem services.
