Thippagondanahalli Reservoir, also known as T G Halli Dam or Chamarajasagara, is located at the confluence of the Arkavathy and Kumudavathi rivers, 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of Bangalore, India. It is used by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board as a major source of drinking water for western Bangalore.[1] The lake is a man-made reservoir, created by the building of a dam which was inaugurated in 1933. M. Visvesvaraya supervised the construction work.[citation needed]
In the summer of 2007, the lack of rain in the watershed for the reservoir, along with use of the water for the city ran the lake almost dry.[1][2]
