Dhanmondi Lake

Dhanmondi Lake is a lake located in the Dhanmondi residential area in Dhaka, Bangladesh.[1][2] The lake was originally a dead channel of the Karwan Bazar River, and was connected to the Turag River. The lake is partially connected with the Begunbari Canal. In 1956, Dhanmondi was developed as a residential area. In the development plan, about 16% of the total area of Dhanmondi was designated for the lake.[3]
