== Geography ==
Thaltej village is situated around a [[lake]] on the far western edge of [[Ahmedabad]]. Since the city has continued to expand outward, development pressure has increased in the area and the lake has recently become an interest to the [[Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation]] (AMC) and the [[Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority]] (AUDA) as a potential redevelopment project. Currently, the lake is surrounded by a large slum population who has lived around the water body for 25–35 years. In addition, the lake and the surrounding area are extremely polluted.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://smartech.gatech.edu/bitstream/handle/1853/43437/ThaltejVillage_Spring2012_FINAL.pdf|title=Thaltej Village: An Incremental Approach to Urban Encroachment|last=Brown|first=Emily|last2=Buchwach|first2=Allison|last3=Hagerty|first3=Ryan|last4=Richardson|first4=Mary|last5=Schultz|first5=Laura|last6=Yan|first6=Bin|publisher=Georgia Institute of Technology|year=2012|location=Georgia Institute of Technology|pages=1}}</ref> The lake's total storage capacity is 32.2 crore liters and the circumference is 1617 meters.
