On Feb 14, 2020 Kere habba was curated by legislative and panchayat members at Bagalur Lake, Arebannimangala lake and Gopalpura lake. Treated wastewater
is being pumped into these lakes from Hebbal, Horamavu and Hennur STPs. Treated water is being pumped into Bagalur lake since July 2019. Once Bagaluru lake
was full, the overflow from here has filled up its downstream Arebannimangala lake and Gopalpura lake.

These lakes were dry for the past 20 years. People in the villages are happy to see water in the lake which in turn has recharged the open wells and borewells.
