Abstract
The lake is situated at an altitude of 1584 m a.s.l. in the northeast of Srinagar at a mean latitude of 34.0° 7′ North and longitude of 74.0° 52′ East (Fig. 1). The lake is surrounded on the east by Mahadev mountain range and on the south by kohi-Sulaiman. On its western and northern banks is the Srinagar city. Telbal Nallah bringing water from high altitude mountains, feeds the lake on its north. Towards the south-western side, an outflow channel of the Dal lake called Psunt kol discharges the lake water into river Jhelum. The lake is not a continuous sheet of water but is divided into five distinct but interconnected basins, viz, the Hazratbal, the Bod Dal, the Gagribal, the Branambal and the Nagin basin.
