Abstract

Lakes are the natural reservoir of the aquatic resources. The Alwara lake is a part of village Alwara, which is located in Sarsawan block of Manjhanpur tahsil of Kaushambi district of Uttar Pradesh. This lake is a natural perennial wetland. It is surrounded by agricultural fields and connected to the river Yamuna and covers about more than 400 hectares. In this lake, the water level falls during summer and winter but rises during rainy season. The lake has derived its name from village Alwara. Locally it is called Alwara taal. The environmental condition of this lake supports the survival of a large number of fish species and avian species including Indian Sarus crane.
