Through the years

Nothing on record for 1956 to 1979 and 1981 to 1983.

The records listed below, drawn on one line from 1955 to 2026.
  1. 1955

    On the U.S. Army map

    Compiled from Survey of India maps of 1945-46

  2. 1980

    On the survey map

  3. 1984-2021

    Held water in 9 of 38 years

    Water in 0.7% of all satellite passes, 1984-2024

    4% of its water area has since gone dry; 5% is new water

    Floating weed looks like dry land to this record, so a weed-covered year can read as dry

  4. 2017-2025

    Mostly built on or bare from 2022

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