'''Madhavaram Lake''' also known as '''Manali aeri''', or '''Mathur aeri''' or '''Madhavaram aeri''', is a 150-acre lake in the [[Manali, Chennai|Manali]]-[[Mathur, Chennai|Mathur]]-[[Madhavaram, Chennai|Madavaram]] area of [[Chennai]], [[India]].<ref>[https://wikimapia.org/14767620/Madhavaram-Reservoir-Lake Madhavaram Reservoir Lake] [[wikimapia]]</ref><br />
<br />
== Geography ==<br />
Due to indiscriminate dumping of garbage and sewage, the lake has shrunk to less than 100 acres.<br />
<br />
A recent study by Nature Trust, an NGO working on the flora and fauna recorded in the lake, showed that about 55 species of birds have been reported in the [[wetland]]. However, about 500 birds were regularly sighted till the mid-1990s.<br />
<br />
The lake was cleaned by NSS volunteers of JHA Agarcen College in Madhavaram in December 2009.<ref>{{cite news <br />
