A STUDY ON CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF LINGAMBUDI LAKE, MYSORE

Abstract: Srirampura has a lake that has fresh water and is located approximately 8km away from the city center. The largest and oldest lake in Mysore is named after Mysore Maharaja Krishnaraja Wodeyar Ш, who established it in 1828. One of the best places to visit for relaxation and rejuvenation in Mysore is the lush surroundings that cover an area over 260 acres. This lake is a picturesque setting for guests to unwind amidst lush vegetation and a calming body of water. It also takes pride in having over 250 different species of birds. To ensure their availability for future generations, conservation of natural resources involves protecting and sustainably managing resources like water, soil, forests, and biodiversity. Lake development and protection are crucial for the long-term health and sustainability of these precious ecosystems.
