The site was identified as important in 2004 because it was regularly supporting significant populations of the species listed below, meeting ('triggering') IBA criteria.

Populations meeting IBA criteria ('trigger species') at the site:

Species	Red List1	Season	Year(s)	Size	IBA criteria
Baer's Pochard Aythya baeri	CR	winter	2004	present	A1
Jerdon's Bushchat Saxicola jerdoni	LC	resident	2000	present	A3

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2004) may differ.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	whole area/population (>90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Pollution	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
