The water body plays a vital role in recharging groundwater table in Manipal and surrounding areas and hundreds of people visit the lake daily for walking. The water body, spread across 29.90 hectares, has a capacity to store 17,52,000 litres of water. The lake is filled with water during monsoon and attracts visitors. The water-level reduces drastically by February.

The Urban Development Authority has prepared a plan to remove silt from the lake at an estimated cost of Rs 60 lakh. The removal of the silt will help in increasing the water storage capacity in the lake.

The authorities are also mulling over the proposal to use the water in the lake as an alternative to supply water to Udupi city in case of emergency during peak summer, said sources in the Authority. There is also a proposal to extend the walking track around the lake.
