The speakers at on open forum on 'Whither Vellayani lake' organized by the Centre for Environment and Development as part of the Kerala Environment Congress in the city on Thursday emphasized the need to demarcate the boundaries of Vellayani lake for its effective conservation. E.J.Jmes,Executive Director, Centre for water Resources Development and Management, Kozhikode, who inaugurated the session said demarcation was essential as it brought about a stamp of authority. Demarcation of the lake was not a difficult task as the area was less, he said. Though debates and discussion on how top conserve the lake had been on for more than two decades, a solution was yet to be found, Mr.James said. There were also suggestions to declare the lake as a Ramsar site.
