Lakes in Koramangala–Challaghatta are Most Polluted

Lakes in Koramangala–Challaghatta valley are more polluted than the ones in Vrishabavathi and Hebbal valleys. The study by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), "Wetlands: Treasure of Bangalore", reveals that the valley receives more waste water at its inlets with higher organic contents, except phosphates. The survey of 105 wetlands says that 98 per cent are encroached upon by illegal buildings (high rises, commercial buildings, slums, etc.), 90 per cent of lakes are sewage fed, 38 per cent are surrounded by slums, and 82 per cent show loss of catchment area. The common threats faced by lakes in Bengaluru include dumping of building debris, plastic and solid waste into the water bodies, construction buildings near or on the lakes by developers, and improper and damaged fencing which increase encroachments in the area.
