Cover Story: Kolleru Lake is the largest freshwater lake in India. It has a rich biodiversity and provides a hospitable environment for international migratory birds. Despite that, for the last five decades, it has experienced severe threats from the illegal expansion of fishponds across the lake region, leading to water circulation and pollution problems. These include aggravated floods submerging surrounding paddy fields and villages, and the proliferation of weeds and algae. Because of these factors, ”Operation Kolleru” was initiated to demolish fishponds and restore the lake ecosystem. This study discusses the landuse conditions of the lake before and after restoration measures. View this paper
