Adambakkam Lake is alake inChennai district,Tamil Nadu. This lake gives the name for the nearby locality of Chennai, the area ofAdambakkam.
This lake also provides a place for the flood water to drain into during the monsoon. This makes the lake very significant, like all lakes in the Chennai district. But theWater Hyacinth occupying the areas in and around the lake is a major worry for the people near it, as it retains some the flood water.[1]
