Indian Lakes

  • Reference work entry

Part of the book series:Encyclopedia of Earth Sciences Series ((EESS))

Introduction

Being valuable natural resource, lakes have always been of great importance to mankind. From ancient times these have been providing water for domestic use. Since long, lake water is being used for industrial purposes as well as for irrigation. Lake is also one of the means of transport and has always attracted the attention of human beings for recreation. Some of saline lakes are useful sources of some important minerals as well. In short, a lake is a sort of catalyst in the development of the city, region, and the country as a whole. But, unfortunately, the popularity of lakes often leads to its deterioration. The increased input of industrial and domestic waste and sediments and the human activities not only hamper the capacity of the lake but also cause an increase in the productivity of the lake resulting in the biological and chemical changes leading to hazards like death of fish, obnoxious odor, and unsightly conditions.

A lake is easy to visualize because of its...
