Nearby IT Parks in Varthur Road, Whitefield

Varthur Lake

Varthur Lake is a beautiful and historic water body in Bangalore, known for its wide stretch and scenic views. It is the 2nd largest lake in the city, covering 180.40 hectares (445.8 acres). The unplanned urbanisation and industrialisation have caused serious pollution in the lake. The lake’s ecosystem is slowly degrading as sewage water from Bangalore enters it through Bellandur Lake.

This is an artificial lake, built by the Ganga kings thousands of years ago for agriculture and domestic use. For the last 50 years, the lake has been receiving 40% of Bangalore’s sewage water. This has caused eutrophication and heavy pollution.

Here are two key steps taken by the government in 2025 to clean Varthur Lake:

• In January 2025, the government started a biodiversity park project at Varthur Lake, where 10,000 saplings were planned. This was to be planted along the lake’s banks to restore greenery and improve the lake’s environment. The project began with the plantation of 1,500 saplings on the first day. This was done with the help of environmental groups like SayTrees.
• The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) took steps to stop the flow of untreated sewage waste into Varthur Lake. The BWSSB was directed to ensure that only treated sewage water would reach the lake. This is to help control pollution and improve water quality.
