Through the years

The records listed below, drawn on one line from 1984 to 2026.
  1. 1984-2021

    No open water seen in any year

    The lake is small for this record, so treat it as rough

  2. 2016

    Gone by 2016, says the 2018 lake survey

    0.47 acres surveyed

  3. 2017-2025

    Mostly built on or bare every year

    The lake is known only as a point or is under a quarter acre, so the shares are rough

    About three in four of these readings are right, so trust what holds for several years

  4. 2025-2026

    Mostly dry or built after the monsoon and in the dry season

    The lake is small for these images, so treat the shares as rough

    After monsoon, Oct 2025 to Dec 2025

    • 0% open water
    • 0% floating weed
    • 100% dry or built

    Dry season, Mar 2026 to May 2026

    • 0% open water
    • 0% floating weed
    • 100% dry or built
