Explanation:

 National Conservation Lake Programme :

The objective of the scheme is to restore and conserve the urban and semi-urban lakes of the country degraded due to waste water discharge into the lake and other unique freshwater eco systems, through an integrated ecosystem approach.

For conservation of lakes and wetlands, Ministry of Environment and Forests has been implementing two separate Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS), namely the National Wetlands Conservation Programme (NWCP) and the National Lake Conservation Plan (NLCP).
‘ The Ministry with the approval of GOI in Feb, 2013, has merged the two schemes viz. NLCP and NWCP into a new integrated scheme named ‘National Plan for Conservation of Aquatic Eco-systems NPCA’.
