      abstract = {Birds that live in or around water, whether in freshwater or marine environments, are known as waterbirds or aquatic birds. Wetlands are unique, complex, and sensitive habitats that link terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems while providing a wide range of ecosystem services to humans.The term "waterbirds" refers to a diverse group of species that feed in or near water. Wetlands serve as an important habitat for many of water birds species, as they offer abundant food resources supported by the enrichment of organic matter that promotes the growth of aquatic weeds and planktons.  They are equally vital for bird survival, offering critical sites for foraging, roosting, nesting, chick-rearing, moulting, stopovers, and wintering of both migratory and resident waterbirds. Waterbirds are widely recognized as important bioindicators of ecosystem change. They play a key role in wetland health, as they influence the diversity of aquatic organisms and form an integral part of the food web.},
