Through the years

Nothing on record for 1946 to 1954, 1956 to 1979 and 1981 to 1983.

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

    On the survey map

    Known only from this map, and the match to it is likely

  2. 1955

    Not on the U.S. Army map

    Compiled from Survey of India maps of 1945-46

  3. 1980

    Not on the survey map

  4. 1984-2021

    No open water seen in any year

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

  5. 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

  6. 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
