This article investigates the dynamic interplay between water level fluctuations and dominant plant communities within a wetland ecosystem spanning three years (1990-1992). The study encompasses various habitats, including dryland, wet meadow, mudflat emergents, marsh emergents, floating vegetation, and submerged vegetation communities, as water levels varied between 496.5 m and 493 m. The findings demonstrate a strong correlation between water level shifts and plant community composition and distribution. As water levels decreased, wet meadow communities expanded, revealing the critical role of hydroperiod in shaping plant community dynamics. This research underscores the significance of understanding plant tolerance and hydroperiods for effective wetland ecosystem conservation and management of Ujni reservoir on the Bheema river. This case study is a sample ofbalanced environmental development for co-existence of human and animal life taking into consideration the socio-economic aspect along with ecological restoration.
