Lakes in India:
India has many lakes. These differ from each other in their size and other characteristics. There are permanent as well as seasonal lakes. Seasonal lakes contain water only during the monsoon season, e.g. the lakes found in the inland drainage basins of semi-arid regions, i.e. the SÄmbhar salt lake in Rajasthan. (Its water is used to produce salt).
Lakes in India are formed by different processes. e.g. some are formed by the action of glaciers and ice sheets, while the others have been found by wind, river actions or human activities. A meandering river across a flood plain forms cut-offs that later develop into Ox-bow lakes. Spits and bars form lagoons in coastal areas, e.g. the Chilika, Pulicat and Kolleru lakes.
Fresh Water Lakes
Fresh water lakes are formed when glaciers dig out a basin, which is later filled with snowmelt. Most of the fresh water lakes are in the Himalayan region, being formed by the action of glaciers.
The Wular lake in Jammu and Kashmir is the result of tectonic activity. Wular lake is the largest fresh water lake in India.
The Dal lake, Nainital, Bhimtal, Loktak and Barapani are some other important fresh water lakes.
