The catchment forests consist of timber species such as Manilkara hexandra, Dryptes sepiaria and Chloroxylon sweitenia. The native aquatic vegetation of the tanks includes Nymphaea pubescens, Utricularia spp., Ceratophyllum demersum, Polygonum spp., and Ludwigia adscendens.
Founa
The freshwater fish in the tanks are dominated by exotic species such as Oreochromis spp., Catla catla, and Labeo rohita. The aquatic reptiles in the tanks include Crocodylus palustris, Melanochelys trijuga and Lissemys punctata. The tanks are home to several large water birds (e.g. Ardea cinerea, Threskiornis melanocephalus, Anastomus oscitans, Mycteria leucocephala, Pelecanus philippensis), large flocks of waterfowl (Anas querquedula, Dendrocygna javanica) and cormorants (Phalacrocorax spp.). These tanks also function as important water sources for large mammals such as Elephas maximus.
