	The Himalayas - Kashmir Himalayas - Dal and Nagin Lakes
		The Dal and the Nagin lakes with their houseboats and shikaras were major tourist destinations in the 1970s and 1980s before trouble in the region started discouraging tourists.
		The tourist boom, and the lakes and waterways of Kashmir, strongly affected the population of Kashmir.
		As a result the lake's internal life processes fall under severe stress as oxygen does not reach the depths of the lake, since it is blocked by the plants at the surface.

		The floodplain lakes in Kashmir Valley are rapidly ageing, with their water area being reduced by encroachment of agriculture on lake margins and by a massive aquatic plant growth, which is enhanced by pollution from the surrounding land.

	Dal Lake: Slowly dying
		For those who still remember scenes from the Bollywood blockbusters of 1960s and 70s that were filmed on the once glistening waters of this lake or inside the houseboats moored to the lake's banks, it is a sad experience to revisit the lake that now literally 'stinks' because of the accumulated poisons inside.
		Most of the wonderful flora and fauna living in the fragile ecology of the lake are also dying and people who eat the fish caught in the lake's waters have been complaining of allergies and indigestion.
		After the Lakes and Waterways Development Authority, a statutory body created by an act of the state legislature to protect the many lakes and rivers in the state from environmental degradation, failed to reverse the pitiable condition of the Dal Lake, the state high court has intervened to save this glorious heritage of Kashmir.
