Deepor Beel is a permanent, freshwater lake, in a former channel of the Brahmaputra river, to the south of the main river in the south -west of Guwahati city. It is a large natural wetland having great biological and environmental importance besides being the only major storm water storage basin for the Guwahati city. The beel is endowed with rich floral and faunal diversity. In addition to huge congregation of residential water birds, the Deepor ecosystem harbours large number of migratory waterfowl each year. The beel supports threatened species of birds like spotbilled pelican, lesser adjutant stork, greater adjutant stork, blacknecked stork, and large whistling teal.
The beel is one of the staging grounds on the migratory flyways for several species.
It supports 50 fish species belonging to 19 families.
Human encroachment and other activities are seriously threatening the very existence of this invaluable asset of the ecosystem. A concerted well informed campaign can only save it from extinction from the face of earth like other wetlands.
