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. 2017-2025

    Mostly plants or weed every year

    Floating weed shows as crops or grass here, not as water

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

  3. 2025-2026

    Mostly floating weed after the monsoon; mostly dry or built in the dry season

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