Abstract
In the backdrop of great paucity of information on greenhouse gas emissions from Indian wetlands in general and wetlands of peninsular South India in particular, the present studies have been carried out. They pertain to Kaliveli lake—which has a water-spread of about 70 km2 when full—situated between Chennai and Puducherry. The study reveals that, contrary to the expectation, the freshwater part of Kaliveli contributes less than 20 mg/m2 h of methane flux in all the three seasons that occur in this region.
