摘要

Inle Lake is situated in the southern part of Shan State in Myanmar. It is the country’s second-largest lake, home to more than 120 000 people and a large bird sanctuary and a major source of hydroelectric power for southern Myanmar. Several distinct environmental problems have arisen in the lake basin. A long-term decrease in lake area has taken place over the last 30 years, probably because of siltation and climate. The drought of the last 2 years in particular has caused a drop in hydroelectric power output, which is affecting southern Myanmar. Many marginal parts of the lake are occupied by elephant grass mats (Saccharum spotaneum L.), known locally as kaing. These mats mature to form solid, floating islands, which are used for a unique form of agriculture but are also an increasing source of pesticide and fertilizer runoff into the lake. Textile cottage industries also abound, and both natural and manufactured dyes are discharged into the lake. Households, including many houses built on stilts in the lake, are a source of garbage and sewage. Livestock breeding also is a source of sewage. Shifting (taungyar) cultivation and village expansion has greatly increased erosion. Dredging is now necessary in many places and water clarity has decreased. The Inle carp (Cyprinus carpio intha), known locally as nga-phane, plays an important role in the food supply, as well as being a cultural symbol of the local Intha people. Nga-phane population abundance is currently low, probably because of changes in water chemistry and decreased clarity in the lake water. Partially because of the perceived potential for tourism, many sectors are now involved in lake rehabilitation and management.
