Through the years

Nothing on record for 1946 to 1956, 1958 to 1979 and 1981 to 1983.

The records listed below, drawn on one line from 1945 to 2026.
  1. 1945

    On the survey map

  2. 1957

    Built

    As the 2018 lake survey records it

  3. 1980

    On the survey map

  4. 1984-2021

    Held water until 2010

    Water in 10% of all satellite passes, 1984-2024

    50% of its water area has since gone dry; 0% is new water

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

  5. 2015

    Gone by 2015, says the 2018 lake survey

    0.28 acres surveyed

  6. 2017-2025

    Mostly water in most years

    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

  7. 2025-2026

    Mostly floating weed 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
    • 100% floating weed
    • 0% dry or built

    Dry season, Mar 2026 to May 2026

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