Wular Lake

Wular Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia, located in the Kashmir Valley of India. Covering about 160 square kilometers, it plays a vital role in supporting local ecosystems, agriculture, and fishing communities. The lake acts as a natural flood control system and provides habitat for diverse bird and fish species. Over the years, Wular Lake has faced challenges such as pollution, sedimentation, and drainage issues, which threaten its ecological health. Conservation efforts aim to restore its water quality and biodiversity, ensuring it continues to benefit both the environment and local livelihoods.
