Authors

Abstract
There are a number of wetlands in the Indian
state of Gujarat. Given that its wetland area accounts for an incredible 23% of
the country's total wetland area, Gujarat is really the largest state in terms
of wetland area. The Space Applications Center (SAC-ISRO) estimates that the
extent of watery-lands in Gujarat is about 34,350 sq. km (17.6% of
the state’s geographical area and 22.9 % of the national wetlands). Information
on the main kinds of wetlands, their functions, and their ability to hold water
was also gathered for the study on Gujarat's plant variety. Gujarat wetlands
have medicinal plants, thus certain plant species that flourish in the
surrounding wetlands were also looked into for Gujarat wetland and Aquatic
plant diversity.
