Bangalore Water Beds.
This is a nice tank just outside the heart of the city. This is the amruthalli kere(lake) spread across 10acres. Its probably 2 kms from the hebbal fly over. Its got a nice island sort of thing in the middle with some trees in it. The trees are home to quiet a few spieces of birds. Parakits have made hanging nests in these trees and they are a delight to watch them. This is the only water body in this area and is helping in maintaining good ground water in the surrounding areas.
Sad part is that the nearby industries and drainage water are sweeping into this lake. God knows how long this lake will survive.
If only government and public come forward, this lake could be turned into a nice park and have jogging track around the lake.
