“About a decade ago, we started cleaning lakes and wanted to form lake groups to save our lakes. “We want to map the lakes, which will hold basic information on lakes and shall be a repository for major Governments for Environmental research.”Lakes are the most ignored water body, contends Madhuri. There is constant news of frothing lakes and lakes catching fire.
