Bhoj Wetland (original) (raw)
The Bhoj Wetland consists of two lakes located in the city of Bhopal, the capital of the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The two lakes are the Bhojtal (Upper Lake) & the Lower Lake, which lie to the west of the city center. The Bhojtal has an area of 31 km², and drains a catchment or watershed of 361 km². The watershed of the Bhojtal is mostly rural, with some urbanized areas around its eastern end. The lower lake has an area of 1.29 km². Its catchment is 9.6 km² and is mostly urbanized; the Lower Lake also receives subsurface seepage from the Bhojtal.

| dbo:abstract | The Bhoj Wetland consists of two lakes located in the city of Bhopal, the capital of the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh. The two lakes are the Bhojtal (Upper Lake) & the Lower Lake, which lie to the west of the city center. The Bhojtal has an area of 31 km², and drains a catchment or watershed of 361 km². The watershed of the Bhojtal is mostly rural, with some urbanized areas around its eastern end. The lower lake has an area of 1.29 km². Its catchment is 9.6 km² and is mostly urbanized; the Lower Lake also receives subsurface seepage from the Bhojtal. The Bhojtal was created by Paramara Raja Bhoj (1005-1055), ruler of Malwa. He established Bhopal (also named after him) to secure the eastern frontier of his kingdom. The lake was created by constructing an earthen dam across the Kolans River. The Kolans was formerly a tributary of the Halali River; with the creation of the Bhojtal and a diversion channel, the upper reach of the Kolans River and the Bhojtal now drain into the Kaliasot River. Bhadbhada dam was constructed in 1965 at the southeast corner of the Bhojtal; it now controls the outflow to the Kaliasot river. The Lower Lake was created in 1794 by Nawab Chhote Khan, Minister of Nawab Hayath Mohammad Khan, to beautify the city. It is also contained behind an earthen dam, and drains into the Halali River via the lower reach of the Kolans River, presently known as the Patra Drain. Both the Kaliasot and Halali Rivers are tributaries of the Betwa River. The lakes are home to a diverse flora and fauna, including many waterbirds. They have been designated a wetland of international importance under the international Ramsar Convention since August 2002.

Los dos lagos son los llamados , de 31 km², conocido propiamente como , y , de 1,29 km². Ambos se encuentran al oeste de la zona central de la ciudad. El superior drena una cuenca de 361 km², y el inferior, de 9,6 km² La cuenca del Bhojtal es principalmente rural, con algunas áreas urbanizadas alrededor de su extremo este. El lago inferior está muy urbanizado y también recibe filtraciones subterráneas del Bhojtal. El lago Bhojtal fue creado por Paramara Raja Bhoja (1005-1055), gobernante de Malwa. Creó la ciudad de Bhopal para asegurar la frontera oriental de su reino. El lago se creó mediante la construcción de una presa de tierra sobre el río Kolans, que era antes un afluente del río Halali. Actualmente, ambos son afluentes del río Betwa. Con la creación del Bhojtal y un canal de desvío, el tramo superior del río Kolans y el Bhojtal desembocan ahora en el río Kaliasot. se construyó en 1965 en la esquina sureste del Bhojtal y controla la salida al río Kaliasot. El Lago Inferior fue creado en 1794 por Nawab Chhote Khan, ministro de Nawab Hayath Mohammad Khan, para embellecer la ciudad, principalmente a partir del fugas del lago superior. También está contenido detrás de una presa de tierra y desemboca en el río Halali a través del tramo inferior del río Kolans, actualmente conocido como Patra Drain. Está rodeado por la ciudad de Bhopal. (es) |
