Kanjli Wetland, a man made Wetland, which subsumes the Kanjli Lake, located in the Kapurthala district of Punjab state in India, was created in 1870 by constructing the headworks across the perennial Bien River, a tributary of the Beas River to provide irrigation facilities to the hinterland.

In this context, it is reported that the Punjab State which has 14 wetlands covering an area of 225.76 km2, the Harike Wetland and the Ropar Wetland chosen by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India for their conservation and management are now alsoincluded in the Ramsar list covering a total area of 5650 ha; Kanjli is upstream of Harike wetland located in the Beas river basin while the Ropar wetland is in the Roopnagar district.
