Wular

Wular is a large freshwater lake situated in the Indian union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. It is the largest such lake in India and the second largest in Asia, spanning an area of approximately 30 to 260 square kilometers depending on the season. The lake is fed by the Jhelum River and is an important part of the Kashmir Valley's hydrological system. Its size fluctuates significantly with the monsoon season, expanding in the summer and shrinking in the winter.

The Wular Lake is renowned for its natural beauty and ecological significance. It is a vital habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna, including various species of fish and migratory birds. The lake plays a crucial role in regulating the climate of the region and is an important source of water for irrigation and drinking. Historically, it has also been a significant trade route.

However, Wular Lake has faced environmental challenges, including siltation and pollution, which have impacted its ecosystem. Conservation efforts are underway to restore the lake's health and preserve its biodiversity for future generations. The lake's unique ecosystem and its importance to the region make it a notable natural landmark.
