महाराणा प्रताप सागर

हिमाचल प्रदेश के कांगड़ा जिले के शिवालिक पहाड़ियों के आर्द्र भूमि पर ब्यास नदी पर बाँध बनाकर एक जलाशय का निर्माण किया गया है जिसे महाराणा प्रताप सागर नाम दिया गया है। इसे पौंग जलाशय या पौंग बांध के नाम से भी जाना जाता है। यह बाँध 1975 में बनाया गया था। महाराणा प्रताप के सम्मान में नामित यह जलाशय या झील (1572–1597) एक प्रसिद्ध वन्यजीव अभयारण्य है और रामसर सम्मेलन द्वारा भारत में घोषित 85 अंतरराष्ट्रीय आर्द्रभूमि साइटों में से एक है।"Salient Features of some prominent wetlands of India", pib.nic.in, Release ID 29706, web: nic6 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304061535/http://pib.nic.in/release/release.asp?relid=29706 4 मार्च 2016 ."Pong Dam Lake Ramsar Sanctuary Travel Guide" https://web.archive.org/web/20150629002823/http://www.world66.com/asia/southasia/india/himachalpradesh/pongdamlakeramsarsanctuary 29 जून 2015 , World66.com. जलाशय 24,529 हेक्टेयर (60,610 एकड़) के एक क्षेत्र तक फैला हुआ है,"Coldwater Fish and Fisheries in the Indian Himalayas, Lakes And Reservoirs" https://web.archive.org/web/20150924053536/http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/x2614e/x2614e05.htm 24 सितंबर 2015 , H.S.

Water stored in the reservoir during the summer and rainy season, after meeting with the irrigation requirements of the partner states, is released in a regulated manner during lean periods, in a fixed schedule of Filling Period–Depletion Period for both the reservoirs. The filling and depletion period for the Bhakra reservoir is from 21 May to 20 September and 21 September to 20 May, and for Pong Dam reservoir, from 21 June to 20 and 21 September to 20 June respectively. A technical committee of the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) authorizes the monthly releases appropriately honouring the requirements projected by the partner states.

The national, as well as international, significance of the sanctuary is enhanced because of its waterfowl diversity, which was evidenced by the increase of water fowl species from 39 prior to the reservoir to 54 species at post-reservoir stage. The number of birds reported, particularly during the winter period of November to March, has steadily increased over the years.
