ஓட்டேரி ஏரி மீண்டெழுந்த கதை - சாதித்தது எப்படி ? | Otteri Lake | Anna Zoological Park | Vandalur | #PTDigital
Up until a few years ago, the Otteri lake inside Chennai’s Vandalur Zoo would witness thousands of migratory birds every winter. Flying in from the frozen lands of the Arctic Circle, these birds would call the picturesque lake their home for the next few months.
However, the number of birds being sighted became fewer and fewer in the past couple of winters, as Otteri lake inched toward a slow death. Battered by Cyclone Vardah in 2016, followed by consecutive summers of severe drought, the large lake dried up almost entirely.
The last nail in the coffin was perhaps the extreme drought of 2018 in Chennai. The Vandalur zoo or Arignar Anna Zoological Park was severely affected. While the zoo authorities had to outsource water to save the animals, the Otteri lake inside turned into a parched stretch of fallow. The lake was dead. And no birds came anymore.
Restoring Otteri lakeThe rainfed lake spans over a sprawling 18 acres which, barring a few shallow marsh patches, went completely dry. Lying in the foothills of Vandalur hills, Otteri lake lies in a catchment area which needs a consistent recharging of water. The recurring droughts affected that possibility.
But, where there is a will, there is always a way - believes IFS officer Sudha Ramen, the Deputy Director of the Vandalur Zoo. Under the guidance of Director Yogesh Singh, Ramen set out with her team to revive the Otteri lake.

The work started in full swing in February 2019. Eight months later, in October 2019, the lake was brimming with water. Talking to The Better India (TBI), Ramen shares the endeavours that helped her achieve the seemingly impossible.
“The first task was to clear the natural drainage channels, followed by desilting. The soil was utilised to raise shallow mounds across the expanse of the lake, which we later afforested with fast-growing plants that attract birds,” says Ramen.
Trees like Barringtonia (freshwater mangrove), Arjuna, Jamun, Ficus were planted aplenty on these mounds, to be nourished by the monsoon waters. “To our immense surprise, almost all the mounds were submerged by rainwater this season, and the plants are thriving at their brightest green.”
