Puttenahalli lake
Puttenahalli lake is a small, restored freshwater lake located in Bangalore.
The primary water sources are rain and surface water diverted to the lake through channels.
The lake is currently maintained by Puttenahalli Neighbourhood Lake Improvement Trust (PNLIT)
The lake was on the brink of extinction, but due to the efforts of PNLIT, is now a haven for bird-watchers and on its way to being completely restored.
