Varthur lake

The lake ecosystem is an integral part of Bangalore, although unplanned urbanisation and industrialisation have led to the contamination of these water bodies. Varthur Lake, which has an area of 180.40 ha (445.8 acres) is the second largest lake^[1] in Bangalore city and also one of the most polluted^[2] lakes in Bangalore. Its ecosystem is under continuous degradation because of sewage water from Bangalore entering the lake from Bellandur Lake, further upstream.

This is a man-made lake, built by the

Ganga kings thousands of years ago^[1] for agriculture and domestic uses but now the lake is receiving 40% of the sewage water from Bangalore for over 50 years resulting in eutrophication
