Ikop Pat
Ikop Pat is a freshwater lake located in Thoubal district, Manipur, about 32 to 40 kilometers southeast of Imphal. The lake spans approximately 13.5 square kilometers, with a length of 7.5 km and a width of up to 2 km during the rainy season.
It holds significant cultural importance in Manipuri folklore as the site where the legendary hero Khamba captured a wild bull to win the affection of Thoibi, symbolizing a famous love story in the region. The lake's basin is saucer-shaped with a gentle slope and silted bottom but has faced environmental challenges such as pollution, siltation, and encroachment from agricultural and fish farm developments.
These pressures have deteriorated water quality and biodiversity, impacting migratory birds and aquatic life. The local community relies on the lake for livelihood and agriculture, but flooding and pollution remain ongoing concerns, prompting calls for conservation and sustainable management to restore the lake’s ecological health.
