Water Quality Management : Strategies for Conservation of Bhopal Waters

Bhopal waters are under severe environmental stress owing to agricultural run-offs, human encroachments, siltation and growth of aquatic weeds.In order to maintain Upper Lake as healthy water resource for drinking purposes, Lower Lake as recreational ground for boating, water sports, tourism and surface transport and Mansarovar Reservoir (Shahpura Lake) as a pisciculture station, certain remedial measures have been formulated to restore the spoilt lakes and check the water sheds from getting eutrophicated further.
