A man rows a boat through algae-covered, polluted waters of Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 31, 2026. Dal Lake, a prominent tourist destination in Kashmir, faces ecological challenges, with tens of millions of liters of sewage entering the lake daily, along with approximately 80,000 tonnes of silt annually and waste from nearby settlements and houseboats. Increased nitrogen and phosphorus levels contribute to aggressive weed growth and reduced oxygen levels, impacting the lake's ecosystem.
