Madiwala Lake, a 500-acre waterbody in south Bengaluru, is nearly 90% covered by water hyacinth, fuelled by continuous sewage inflow. Residents report dying fish and a persistent sewage smell. Weed removal briefly improved the lake using an ISRO-borrowed machine and later a newly procured device, but weeds returned. Removal work has reportedly stopped because there is no designated place to dispose of the vegetation. The lake was transferred from the Karnataka Forest Department to GBA in November 2023. Untreated sewage continues to enter the lake. The Karnataka State Pollution Control Board’s latest assessment found dissolved oxygen below 2 mg per litre. A May analysis of water samples from 15 Bengaluru locations also found pharmaceutical waste contamination in Madiwala Lake.
