Varthur Lake series, a part of the Koramangala-Challaghatta lake system.^[5]^[6]^[7] Disused/former lakes (yellow) and sewage treatment plants (red) related to the series marked.

Bellandur Lake is located in the suburb of Bellandur in the southeast of the city of Bengaluru. It is the largest lake in the city.^[8] It is a part of Bellandur drainage system that drains the southern and the south-eastern parts of the city. The lake is a receptor from three chains of lakes upstream, and has a catchment area of about 148 square kilometres (37,000 acres). Water from this lake flows further east to the Varthur Lake, from where it flows down the plateau and eventually into the Pinakani river basin.^[9]
