'''Avadi Lake''' is a lake in the [[Chennai district]], [[Tamil Nadu]], India. It is located in the [[Avadi]] locality of Chennai.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
Avadi Lake lies right behind the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) and [[Thirumullaivoyal]]. This lake is of length of 2.64&nbsp;kilometers and covers an area of 8 acres.<ref name="MM_TimeToRestore"/> 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.<br />
<br />
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.<ref name="indiatimes">{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Sudden-burst-of-rain-takes-Avadi-by-surprise/articleshow/49853248.cms|title=Sudden burst of rain takes Avadi by surprise|website=Times of India|access-date=2017-11-18}}</ref><br />
