A view of the algae-polluted waters of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on April 20, 2026. Dal Lake, a prominent tourist destination in Kashmir, is experiencing significant ecological challenges. Tens of millions of liters of sewage enter the lake daily, along with approximately 80,000 tonnes of silt annually and waste from nearby settlements and houseboats. Increased nitrogen and phosphorus levels are contributing to aggressive weed growth and reduced oxygen levels, impacting the lake's ecosystem. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
