Red Hills Lake
Red Hills Lake, also known as Puzhal Lake, is a large rain-fed reservoir located in the Red Hills area of Chennai, Tamil Nadu, serving as one of the main sources of drinking water for the city. Originally built in 1876 during British rule as a small irrigation tank, it has since been expanded to hold about 3,300 million cubic feet of water.
The lake is surrounded by scenic greenery and offers a calm, peaceful environment, attracting locals for morning walks and exercise. Historically, the area around the lake was used as a military camp and even served as a landing site for water planes.
Today, the lake plays a critical role in Chennai's water supply system, alongside other reservoirs like Chembarambakkam and Porur Lakes. The lake's water quality is regularly monitored, and maintenance efforts ensure its capacity and safety for the growing population of Chennai.
