The site was identified as important in 2005 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
Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca	NT	winter	2002	frequent	A1
Sarus Crane Grus antigone	VU	resident	2004	present	A1
Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus	NT	non-breeding	1990-1999	rare	A1, A4i
Oriental Darter Anhinga melanogaster	LC	resident	2002	present	A1
Black-bellied Tern Sterna acuticauda	EN	unknown	2004	present	A1
White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis	CR	non-breeding	2002	present	A1, A4ii
Slender-billed Vulture Gyps tenuirostris	CR	non-breeding	2002	present	A1, A4ii
Indian Spotted Eagle Clanga hastata	VU	unknown	2004	present	A1, A4ii

1. The current IUCN Red List category. The category at the time of the IBA criteria assessment (2005) may differ.

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2005. The most recent assessment (2011) is shown below.

State (condition of the trigger species' habitats)
Habitat	Quantity (% remaining)	Quality (% carrying capacity)	Result
Wetlands (inland)	moderate (70-90%)	poor (40-69%)	very unfavourable

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Biological resource use	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Human intrusions and disturbance	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	slow but significant deterioration	medium
Pollution	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)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
Little/none of site covered (<10%)	A management plan exists but it is out of date or not comprehensive	Substantive conservation measures are being implemented but these are not comprehensive and are limited by resources and capacity	low

Year	Protected Area	Designation	% overlap with IBA
2003	Jagadishpur Reservoir	Ramsar Site, Wetland of International Importance	100
