Navelim is situated on the eastern border of Diwar Island, featuring a diverse topography that includes settlements, paddy fields, a stretch of tall grass, mangroves, and bund walls in a sequential arrangement. The sluice gates along with the bund wall play a crucial role in managing estuarine water flow throughout different seasons. In the monsoon, saline estuarine water infiltrates the cultivated land, depositing salt and elevating soil salinity. This prompts the relocation of agricultural activities away from the estuary, allowing wild grass patches and wetland ecology to thrive, gradually replacing freshwater flora and fauna. The increasing salinity not only triggers a shift in agriculture but also influences the surrounding ecology. In its early years, the agricultural landscape was primarily characterized by paddy cultivation, but this came to an abrupt halt when the bund walls broke, leading to the soil turning saline. Consequently, this event marked the decline of agriculture and had an impact on the livelihoods of the local community.
