    See source

  2. 1957

    Built

    As the 2018 lake survey records it

    See source

  3. 1978

    Not on the survey map

    See source

  4. 1984-2021

    No open water seen in any year

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

  5. 2017-2018

    In the water bodies census, not marked as encroached

    This census's status marks are often wrong

    See source

  6. 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

  7. 2018

    Still there in the 2018 lake survey

    10% encroached, muddy, 3.35 acres surveyed

    See source

  8. 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
