I stay near Avalahalli lake in Bengaluru. It was also receiving a lot of sewage. Now they are diverting the sewage and they have emptied the lake to remove the silt and everything in the lake bed. After that it'll be filled up again in the coming years I think.

@ravin2363 5 лет назад

looks promising. However keep a close watch because if enough fresh water is provided lake can mitigate the pollutants by itself it doesn't need emptying. Yes silting is one problem, still keep a close watch so that it isn't replaced by some human made concrete jungle.
