Abstract
The deterioration of freshwater quality in Indian lakes has drawn serious attention to their protection, conservation, and management. The present review focuses on the currently applied restoration methods and new research, their success status, and recommendations for future lake management. In various studies, only a few lakes are found to be restored significantly. Studies reveal that in-lake restoration methods are more prominent than catchment management. A combination of in-lake and watershed management is beneficial rather than a single approach. Along with government schemes, regular monitoring and peopleâs cooperation are required to obtain the projected outcome of restoration efforts.
