To understand the characteristics of these grasses the character mapping of the lake area have been done according to the seasons and 2.5m x 3.5m area of have been detailed out to understand their communities. New idea in ecology are finding values in these species as proxies for rewilding, habitats for assisted migration, support for conservation of rare natives, biodiversity enhancers, and providers of ecosystem services. several approaches to naturalistic planting are incorporation these species in their design for their resilience and beauty.
