Bangalore lakes Action RWH Bellandur Lake
Bellandur Lake is a lake on the shores of which Bellandur village is situated. Bellandur is a prominent junction on the outer ring road of the city of Bangalore. It is about 2 km away from the Sarjapur road junction on the Koramangala Belandur outer ring road section. A dozen Shoba apartments have come up near Bellandur. These Shoba Properties are almost extending till the Bellandur Lake. It is really a huge community at the opposite end of the Old Bangalore airport.
The Belandur Lake as seen from Shoba May Flower apartment 2705, gets a view of aircrafts taking off HAL Bangalore airport:-
A Temple at Bellandur Lake next to the Shoba Estate :-
This Temple is hidden behind the first shot central building covering the lake. Picture 3 is taken with a 180 degree turn from the previous picture angle of view, now pointing towards the HAL airport Building (Same View angle as that of Picture No 1, except that I have now moved to the lake side Temple area, which is just out side the Shoba Estate). :-

There is no froth because the water is still

Srivatsava,
There is no froth because the water is still. The froth is seen at the exit end of the Bellandur Lake where there is a small water fall, because of which the froth is generated. This is similar to water with soap produces the froth only on stirring violently while washing cloths. I have yet to upload the pictures showing profuse froth which I mentioned at the exit portion of the lake water. I have also some important pictures where big chunks of lake area are being filled up to claim some real estate, at the cost of the lake. Please see this link, which gives some idea of the polutents being dumped in to the Belandur lake.

Near the shore line of the lake

These are some of the photos taken on a digital camera by my grand daughters. (I was shy of handling my son’s camera). I find that on the ring road side near Shoba apartments, the land is with private owners which extends to almost the shore of the lake.
There is a big stone building on the right side of the first picture below. One can see the gate of the compund of the house (see the large size picture in the Flicker All sizes option). I have not taken the shot of the house yet. I intend to take it shortly and add here later if required. This first picture below shows that water cynth is spread all over the lake at this spot. The second is a hut perhaps an encroachment.
I had taken some more pictures on my wifes mobile, earlier. I am still strugling to upload the same, as it happened to be a new mobile, acquired recently. There the pictures showing the copious froth in the lake water at the exit end of the lake is available.

I am contemplating to add some more pictures. Please Click on the IISC report which has very good pictures of 3 inlets, to the Bellandur Lake:-
1. Indiranagar side
2. Agara Lake side
3. HAL airport side
I have seen some very busy on going apartment constructions on the HAL airport side of the lake. There are some big coconut groves visible too. SB, I am planning a photo session on this side of the Lake in the near future, if you are listening.

Sir, we talked about the white froth 'all over' the lake. Strangely, this lake looks like any other Bangalore lake with just some weeds. Are there any industial effluents there, which used form the froth?
