The Akkulam Lake rejuvenation project in Thiruvananthapuram has received renewed support from the Kerala government, injecting fresh life into efforts aimed at restoring this vital water body. The project, which focuses on cleaning and revitalizing the lake, aims to improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and create recreational spaces for the community.
With the allocation of additional funds and resources, the initiative seeks to address pollution and encroachment issues that have long plagued the lake. Local authorities are committed to involving the community in conservation efforts, promoting awareness about the ecological importance of Akkulam Lake.
As part of the rejuvenation, plans include the construction of walking paths, landscaping, and facilities for boating, making it a hub for tourism and leisure activities. The project aligns with broader state initiatives to enhance urban sustainability and improve the quality of life for residents. Successful execution of the rejuvenation plan will not only benefit the environment but also restore the cultural and historical significance of Akkulam Lake.
