Coimbatore lakes: Coimbatore's seven historic lakes revived under Smart City project
The gigantic Periyakulam Lake spread of 300 acres in the heart of Coimbatore was polluted, encroached upon and reeked of filth till a few years ago, but now it shimmers in the sun and has become a major recreational space in the historic city. This transformation has been brought through a smart city project to revive and rejuvenate seven of the city's centuries-old lakes which were historically used as part of the irrigation system in the area.
