The 104-acre lake was a lifeline to many agricultural activities and livestock in the surrounding villages till the turn of the century. However, development activities including concrete constructions have disrupted the natural flow of water and during heavy rains it overflows.^[4] The upstream lakes of Rachenahalli lake include, Jakkur lake and the Sampigehalli lake while the downstream lakes are Nagavara lake and Kalkere lake.^[4]
