Powai Lake, Artificial lake in northern Mumbai, India
The lake spreads across 2.1 square kilometers with depths ranging from 3 meters at edges to 12 meters in central areas.
British engineers constructed Powai Lake in 1891 at a cost of 650,000 rupees to address water supply needs for Bombay city.
The Maharashtra State Angling Association manages the lake since 1936, organizing fishing activities and maintaining recreational facilities for visitors.
Kanjurmarg railway station on Mumbai's Central Line provides the nearest rail access point, while multiple roads connect from Santa Cruz and Andheri.
The lake supports a diverse ecosystem where spot-billed ducks, kingfishers, and peregrine falcons share space with resident crocodiles.
