  • A Case Study of Pushkar Lake
    Available online a twww.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Archives of Applied Science Research, 2016, 8 (6):1-7 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-508X CODEN (USA) AASRC9 Effect of anthropogenic activities on Indian pilgrimage sites–A case study of Pushkar Lake Deepanjali Lal 1 and Joy Joseph Gardner 2 School of Life Sciences, Jaipur National University, Jagatpura, Jaipur, Rajasthan Department of Geography, University of Rajasthan, JLN Marg, Jaipur, Rajasthan _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Water is the source of life for all living beings. About two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water. Among many water bodies, Lakes are the most fertile, diversified and productive of all the ecosystems in the world. A variety of environmental goods and services are bestowed upon us by Lakes which makes them vulnerable to human exploitation. The fresh water Pushkar Lake is situated in the gap of the Aravallis and was used as the area of research for the present study. History claims that in the 20 th century, this Lake and its catchment area were a rich source of wildlife as well as a source of water for the railways for over 70 years, till 2004. The society’s demand for economic gains has resulted in the deterioration of its water quality. Two main reasons for this loss are – high rate of sedimentation due to sand-fall from the nearby sand dunes and anthropogenic practices followed in the periphery of the Lake. The water of the Lake is getting dried up because of reversal of hydraulic gradient from Lake to groundwater, leading to rapid decline in the groundwater level of the surrounding areas also.
