Fruiting plants like Azima Tetracantha, Cordia Dichotoma are on the banks.[3][4] Flowering Flora like Cleome Viscosa, Ipomoea Cairica are found.[5]
RejuvenationEdit
Hebbal lake was highly polluted by the inflow of industrial effluents, sewerage and refuse. A recovery project is underway to set up a sewage treatment plan and tackle the pollution problem.[6][7][8] Sudha Murthy, Chairperson, Infosys Foundation and district administration signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for conserving the lake.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The rejuvenation project, which is projected to last for 15 months, started in February 2021.[17]
