Damdama Lake is not a natural lake as many people imagine but the result of the British vision. The stone and earthen dam constructed by the British and commissioned in 1947 for harvesting a rain water stream resulted in the formation of Damdama Lake. The water level at the Damdama Lake is not uniform as the only source of water is the Monsoons. In the summers the water level is particularly low. During the rains its level shoots up dramatically, reaching 50 to 60 feet in places and covering about 8 square kilometers of area. Though the exact area of Damdama lake is difficult to measure because of its minor feeder streams that change course depending upon rains. In fact, the contours of this lake change on daily basis. Damdama Lake is the catchment area for the rain water of 25 sq Kms around on one side from Dhauj downwards and on the other side upto Gurgaon. In fact Damdama Lake improved the ground water levels in the area dramatically. Sohna in the Aravali hills once used to be a dry land now flourishes due to the very good ground water levels.
