What is the largest fresh water lake in India?
. The lake was formed as result of tectonic activity and is fed by water from Jhelum, a tributary of Sindhu or Indhus. It spreads at an area of 260 sq.kms and it widens with the melting of Ice in Himalaya as it surpass the Kolleru lake to become the larges fresh water source in India.

What is the largest fresh water lake in India? How did it form?
I have replied this question in another question asked only yesterday. In India, the lake Vembanad kayal or kol in Kerala is the largest freshwater lake. It has the length of 96.5 km and width of 14 km. Its area is 2033.02 sq.km. Only problem of this lake was it was connected to the sea at one place resulting in the ingress of saltwater. The Government of Kerala has now constructed a salt barrier to prevent the entry of the salt water. This barrier is called “Thannermukkam salt barrier.” I could not find any record about the origin of this lake. However, I feel that the drainage from the western ghat ranges within Kerala flowed down the slope but got prevented to meet sea by the depressions along the coastal region. This formed the elongated lake in due course. Only at one place, it has a minor connection with the sea. Incidentally, The state of Kerala has a very high rain fall.
Which is the largest fresh water lake in Asia? Lake baikal or Lake wular?
The lake Wular does not come anywhere in getting the honour of being the largest lake in the Asia. The lake Baikal located in Siberia is the deepest freshwater lake in the world and naturally also in Asia, but not in its water spread. The water spread of the lake Baikal is only 31,722 sq.km.Probably, very few people know that the Caspian sea, though called sea, is the largest freshwater lake in its spread in Asia and even world. It has the water spread of 3,71000 sq.km. Its name Caspian sea has been given by Romans in the medieval era because some Roman king tested the water of this lake from its southernmost end where it is slightly salty. The lake otherwise is a freshwater lake with the rivers Volga, Kura,Ural and Tarek falling into it. It has originated around 5.5 million years back by plate tectonics. However, some scientists opine that it is a remnant of Tethys sea existed 10 crore years back. This is doubtful as the Tethys never existed north of Himalayas which was than an Eurasian continent.
