Red Hills Lake

Encyclopedia : R : RE : RED : Red Hills Lake



 

The Red Hills Lake, located in Ambattur taluka of Thiruvallur district, Tamilnadu, South India, is one of the rain-fed reservoirs from where water is drawn for supply to Chennai. On account of scanty rainfall for last three years (2003-05), the Red Hills Lake looks like a small pond. This lake is also called Puzhal lake.

The area around the Red Hills Lake is also associated with formation of No. 357 Squadron [link] of the Royal Air Force, which had a base here during World War II.
