'''''Adambakkam Lake''''' is a lake in [[Chennai district]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. This lake gives the name for the nearby locality of Chennai, the area of [[Adambakkam]].<br />
<br />
==Chennai Monsoon times==<br />
This lake also provides a place for the flood water to drain into during the monsoon. This makes the lake very significant, like all lakes in the Chennai district. But the [[Eichhornia crassipes|Water Hyacinth]] occupying the areas in and around the lake is a major worry for the people near it, as it retains some the flood water.<ref name="newstodaynet">{{cite web|url=https://www.newstodaynet.com/index.php/2017/11/18/chennai-lake-water-is-low-despite-heavy-rains/|title=Chennai lake water is low despite heavy rains &#124; News Today &#124; First with the news|website=newstodaynet.com|accessdate=2017-11-18}}{{Dead link|date=June 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
==Voluntary efforts at the lake==<br />
<br />
E.F.I ( [[Environmentalist Foundation of India]] ) along with other social groups has been active in volunteering at the lake. Over several weekends volunteers had manually cleaned the lake. <ref> https://www.thehindu.com/features/downtown/efi-to-take-up-scientificrestoration-of-lakes/article8289579.ece </ref> <br />
