harests rainfall from the athment and surplus .ater flo.s into the do.nstream lakes#
(angalore ity has no perennial rier nearby and this ould be one of the reasons for
onstrution of series of tanks, most of them during the 16 thentury# 3he earliest history
of reation of lakes in and around (angalore City is traed to the founders of (engaluru,
the Kempe 5o.das and later to the !odeyars of the )ysore Kingdom# 3he iti=ens had
