Avadi Lake
Avadi Lake is a lake in the Chennai district, Tamil Nadu, India. It is located in the Avadi locality of Chennai.

Features
Avadi Lake lies right behind the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) and Thirumullaivoyal. This lake is of length of 2.64 kilometers and covers an area of 8 acres. It is mostly known to have never dried up in many years. This lake has supposedly been a source of water for cultivation of farm lands long before. The water body attracts many birds during various seasons.

However, in recent decades it has lost most of its area to indiscriminate building and encroachment. These are the major problems at present, since the water of the monsoon showers moves inside of the buildings as they are in the area of the lake.
