Discuss the conservation of dal lake
Answers
Answer:
Srinagar, July 1: The Jammu and Kashmir government has decided to attach floating septic tanks with each house boat in the Dal Lake for preserving the world famous water body.
Answer:
The size of the Dal Lake had come down from 22 sq.km to about 10 sq.km due to the water quality of the lake which deteriorated because of intense pollution caused by untreated sewage and solid waste released into the water body.
Pollution is sometimes so bad it turns the lake a brackish green due to sewage from the more than 1,000 houseboats and waste from hotels and homes on shore gets empty into the lake.
Encroachments of water channels and clogging have diminished the circulation and inflows into the lake, leading to the extensive growth of hyacinth.
Floating vegetable gardens on reed rafts, some of Kashmir’s biggest vegetable-producing areas, are also major polluters. Pesticides used by farmers find their way into the lake, causing colossal damage to its fauna and flora.
The garbage dumped into the lake increases the density of weeds and water plants resulting in poor visibility of the lake’s bed.
