Bhopal is famously known as the "City of Lakes."
* **Bhojtal (Upper Lake):** The oldest man-made lake in India, created in the 11th century by Paramara King Bhoj. It is a vital source of drinking water and a designated Ramsar wetland site, supporting abundant avian life. * **Lower Lake (Chhota Talab):** Situated to the east of the Upper Lake, creating a contiguous water body divided by an overbridge (Kamla Park). * **Rivers and Dams:** The Kaliasot River and Halali River flow through the region, feeding into the Kaliasot, Kerwa, and Halali dams, which are popular for monsoon getaways.
