According to him, a lake's catchment area needs to be in good condition if it is to be protected. A lake's catchment is the area from which the water is drained into the lake. He continued by saying that the watershed should be vegetated in order to maintain the water supply for human consumption. We also conducted an animal mapping throughout our study of this area. They discovered that the availability of animals is similarly impacted by water scarcity.
Additionally, they discovered that only two-legged types of animals may be found in areas with a lack of water, while sloth bears and tigers can be found in areas with plenty of water.
