Read the passage given below carefully:
In July 2026, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified the updated regulatory framework for the Sustainable Urban Wetland Conservation Scheme (SUWCS). Under the revised guidelines, all urban wetlands covering an area greater than 5 hectares in Class-I cities are mandated to install automated water quality monitoring sensors by December 2026. Financial assistance of 60% of the capital cost is provided by the Central Government for public municipal bodies, whereas private industrial entities managing artificial wetlands within their premises must bear 100% of the installation costs. Furthermore, the framework strictly prohibits any commercial construction within a 200-meter eco-sensitive buffer zone from the high-water mark, except for non-motorized recreational tracks approved by the State Wetland Authority.
