Naini Lake’s Facing Depleting of Water Levels:
Naini Lake, a significant landmark in Nainital, is facing a critical decline in water levels, hitting a five-year low of 4.7 feet, raising concerns about the potential for drinking water scarcity during the summer. The lake, which supplies 76% of Nainital’s water demand, is experiencing pressures from both natural and human-induced factors. A combination of decreasing rainfall, reduced snowfall, unplanned development, and pollution has worsened the lake’s condition. Experts highlight the need for a holistic approach to conservation, focusing on natural rejuvenation and sustainable development practices.
