It is a biodiversity area within the Northern Aravalli leopard wildlife corridor stretching from Sariska Tiger Reserve to Delhi.
It is contiguous to the seasonal waterfalls in Pali-Dhuaj-Kot villages of Faridabad,[2] the sacred Mangar Bani hill forest and the Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary.
In addition, deforestation and rampant borewell digging in the area owing to urbanisation worsened the situation, leaving the lake high and dry.
The state government then approached Manav Rachna University in 2018, which prepared a report suggesting that Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) water may be used for the same.
Afterwards, experts from Indian Institute of Technology-Roorkee were chosen to collect soil samples and conduct infiltration tests on the lake bed.
This included the STP project which aims to fill up the lake with regular discharge from the plant to a level of 6 metre in 300 days.
But it was reported in October, 2019 that a delay in formal clearances by the Forest Department and the Pollution Control Board had halted all work.
