It rained heavily in Bangalore last night.
"How much water entered the lake last night?" This is the question we've been asked since morning. Well, this is the first thing we checked ourselves. The answer - take a look at the photos. For a comparison, we've attached an aerial view of the lake taken by Geetha Srikrishnan on 17th August 2015, after the rain the previous night. Her aerial view of the lake taken today is attached as well. Thanks to Geetha and Amod for helping us answer The Question with their photographs.

It is said to have been a stormy rainy night when Sri Krishna was born and hence it invariably rains on the eve of Janmashtami. Or perhaps the downpour last night was the precursor to the North East Monsoon, well ...
:-)
Janmashtami greetings to all from us at PNLIT.
And happy Teachers' Day to our teachers.
Best regards
Usha
Is treated water from South City flowing into the lake regularly? Curious to know if the attempt has been successful
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Excess treated water from South City is being let into the lake. This is another reason why the level is increasing rapidly. :-)
