Through the years

Nothing on record for 1956 to 1972 and 1974 to 1983.

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

    Not on the U.S. Army map

    Compiled from Survey of India maps of 1945-46

  2. 1973

    On the survey map

  3. 1984-2021

    Held water in 14 of 38 years

    Water in 0.4% of all satellite passes, 1984-2024

    10% of its water area has since gone dry; 0% 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 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

  5. 2025-2026

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

    After monsoon, Nov 2025 to Dec 2025

    • 0% open water
    • 65% floating weed
    • 35% dry or built

    Dry season, Mar 2026 to May 2026
