UPPER LAKE

Upper Bhopal Lake is arguably the oldest man-made lake in India, and was created by Raja Bhoj in the 11th Century by constructing an earthen dam across the Kolans river. The Upper & Lower Bhopal lakes (also known as Bhoj Wetlands) are urban water bodies. The upper lake is a major source of potable water for the people of the city of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. The lower lake was constructed much later on the down stream of the dam of Upper lake.
