Adopt a Lake

Bangalore at the turn of the 20th century was home to more than 200 lakes. Today, barely 6 or 7 of them survive. And some of them owe it to the Lake Development Authority constituted by the outgoing S M Krishna administration. While the BATF has had only limited success with its "Adopt a Park" scheme, the LDA is going ahead with an "Adopt a Lake" scheme. Avani Kumar Varma, CEO of the LDA talks about it in the Bangalore Times. Well, anything if it will help sustain and rejuvenate the city's lakes.
