A Kashmiri man fishes near a vessel used to collect weeds from the waters of Dal Lake on a cloudy evening in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on May 18, 2026. The Meteorological Department forecasts a fresh spell of light rain and thundershowers across parts of Jammu and Kashmir. 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.
