Abbankuppe Lake Rejuvenation

Lake rejuvenation initiative.

We have been awarded the contract for development of Abankuppe Lake as a part of Toyota’s CSR initiative.

Project Background and Vision:

We are excited to be part of this great initiative to help reinvigorate the dying lakes in Bangalore City. We will be rejuvenating about 3.5 acres set to house about 20570 cum of lake which will provide a serene & beautiful location to the residents of the village.

Community-Centric Development:

With a proposed jogging track, gazebo, small pond for idol immersion during festivals, the lake will become a hub for the residents to meet, play, rest or conduct social gatherings.

Lake Location and Existing Conditions:

The Lake which is located in Banandur Village (Lat 12°46'38"N & Long 77°24'22"E); North of Abbankuppe Village is currently filled with monsoon rains with beautiful lotus’s sprouting in the middle.

Catchment and Hydrological Details:

With a catchment area of 198.57 Acres occupied by industrial, residential & agricultural lands there is a net annual inflow volume of 344.121 Ha-m.

The lake with two inlets & 1 outlet has extensive amounts of sullage entering into the lake through its inlets thus polluting the lake. Also, significant amounts of solid waste has been dumped into the lake thus contributing to its pollution.

Water Quality Assessment:

On testing conduced by the consultants for the project STEM, the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) & Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) are within permissible values thus suggesting to us that the lake isn’t polluted to a large extent.

Lake Rejuvenation Scope:

To rejuvenate the lake, we will be required to first dewater and desilt the entire lake. After which the entire lake bed will be strengthened, followed by improving existing bunds & creating new bunds. Wasteweir reconstruction as well as inlet arrangements will be taken up subsequently.

Hardscaping Works:

Hardscaping works such as walkway, fencing for security, preparation of wetland, idol immersion tank, children’s playground, etc. are carried out to provide access for people to the lake.

Softscaping Works:

Finally softscaping activities including but not limited to plantations, hariyala, seating facilities, etc. will be provided.

Project Commitment:

We are truly passionate & enthusiastic to be carrying out this lake rejuvenation project and are looking forward to completing our scope of works within budget & schedule and with quality & safety standards we are renown for.

The lake now supports local ecosystems.
