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
Sarus Crane Grus antigone	VU	resident	2004	present	A1
Dalmatian Pelican Pelecanus crispus	NT	winter	2004	present	A1
White-rumped Vulture Gyps bengalensis	CR	non-breeding	2004	present	A1
Indian Vulture Gyps indicus	CR	non-breeding	2004	present	A1
A4iii Species group - waterbirds	n/a	unknown	2004	min 20,000 individuals	A4iii

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

Ideally the conservation status of the IBA will have been checked regularly since the site was first identified in 2004. The most recent assessment (2003) is shown below.

Pressure (threats to the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Threat	Timing	Scope	Severity	Result
Agricultural expansion and intensification	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	very rapid to severe deterioration	high
Natural system modifications	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Pollution	happening now	some of area/population (10-49%)	moderate to rapid deterioration	high
Biological resource use	happening now	majority/most of area/population (50-90%)	slow but significant deterioration	high
Energy production and mining	happening now	small area/few individuals (<10%)	no or imperceptible deterioration	low

Response (conservation actions taken for the trigger species and/or their habitats)
Protected areas	Management plan	Other action	Result
