List of wetlands of Assam

Assam is one of India's most wetland-abundant states, with approximately 5,097 major wetlands and an additional 6,081 smaller wetlands collectively covering 9.74% of the state's total land area. Wetlands in Assam are locally known by a variety of names reflecting their character: beel, pitoni, doloni, jalah, doba, hola, gedeng, and haor. These ecosystems serve as repositories of rich biotic and abiotic resources while providing critical functions including flood control, stormwater regulation, and water quality improvement. Despite their ecological importance, urban wetlands in Assam face the highest rates of degradation compared to their rural counterparts. The Brahmaputra River basin strongly influences the hydrology of the state's wetlands, making them particularly sensitive to changes in land use patterns, monsoon variability, and the rapid urbanization occurring around Guwahati.
