Keenjhar Lake
🚨 Keenjhar Lake Pakistan Crisis: Karachi’s Drinking Water is Under Threat! 🚨
Keenjhar also informally referred to as Karachi Lake, is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Pakistan, located in Thatta District, Sindh, approximately 122 kilometers from Karachi.
The lake holds immense ecological, cultural, and economic importance. It is an artificially enlarged natural lake, primarily fed by the Indus River through canals, especially the Kalri Baghar Feeder.
This connection ensures a steady inflow of freshwater, maintaining its level throughout the year. Keenjhar Lake plays a vital role in supporting Karachi’s water needs, as it serves as a major source of drinking water for millions of residents in Karachi
And surrounding towns. Its clean, fresh water is stored and transported through a network of canals and pumping stations to help meet the city’s ever-growing demand. Beyond its utility, the lake is a famous picnic and tourism spot, attracting visitors
Its scenic beauty, boating activities, and historical connection to the Sindhi folklore tale of Noori and Jam Tamachi. Surrounded by natural habitats, it also serves as a sanctuary for migratory birds.
Due to its dual role in water supply and eco-tourism, Lake Karachi remains one of the most significant inland water bodies in Sindh.
