The climatic conditions of the lake area is typical of Uttar Pradesh plains with hot windy summers and cold winters.

The raw water for Keetham Lake is obtained from Agra Canal originating from Okhla barrage on River Yamuna in Delhi.

Forest Department has created woodlands and developed shallow areas near lake, making it a natural habitat for birds nesting sites.

Controversially, Uttar Pradesh Government has decided to reduce the Eco-sensitive zone limit around Keetham Lake from 10 kilometres to just 250 metres.

The entire lake area gets covered by profuse growth of aquatic_plants like water hyacinth and Potamogeton species during summers.

Established in 1999 by Wildlife SOS in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department and others, the facility is located in an eight-hectare site.
