Answer: Jammu and Kashmir
Notes: Hokersar wetland, also called the 'Queen Wetland of Kashmir,' is a Ramsar site in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. It is a perennial wetland connected to the Jhelum basin, receiving water from the Doodhganga River. The wetland is crucial for waterfowl, with 68 species like the Large Egret, Tufted Duck, and endangered White-eyed Pochard. Recent years of excessive rainfall deficit have reduced water levels, impacting migratory bird populations. It provides a vital food source, spawning grounds, and breeding habitats for various water birds and fish.
