The Himalayas - Kashmir Himalayas - Dal and Nagin Lakes (550 words) |
 | 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. |

| Lakes in Kashmir Valley (state of Jammu and Kashmir), situated at an altitude of 1537 to 1587 m, and Gobindsagar and Pong reservoirs (altitude 560 and 436 m, respectively) at the foot of the Himalayas in the state of Himachal Pradesh, are the major coldwater fishing water bodies in the Himalayas. |
| The Kumaon lakes (altitude 1220-1937 m) in the state of Uttar Pradesh are small in size, with their yields ranging from 0.7 to 9.3 kg ha-1, and the major fish species being the introduced Indian major carps, common carp, and indigenous mahseers. |
| 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. |
