🌸 Wular Lake Blooms Again: A Story of Ecological Revival
After nearly three decades, lotus flowers have returned to Wular Lake, one of South Asia’s largest freshwater lakes located in Jammu and Kashmir.
This comeback is not just a visual delight but also a sign of ecological recovery. The lake had suffered severe degradation due to years of agricultural runoff, nutrient pollution, and siltation caused by excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides around its catchment area.
What makes Wular Lake special?
It's a freshwater lake of tectonic origin, fed by the Jhelum River.
It plays a critical role in biodiversity, water regulation, and livelihood for local communities.
For years, excess phosphorus and sediment build-up choked the lake’s ecosystem, halting lotus growth. But thanks to restoration efforts, desiltation, and better agricultural practices, the lake is reviving—and so is its rich biodiversity.
This is a reminder that ecological balance can be restored with consistent effort and policy support. Wular Lake is now not just a waterbody, but a case study in resilience and revival.
