And they warn that the consequences for the lake and its unique flora and fauna could be irreversible.

With over two decades of experience in ocean observations, NIOT currently deploys moored buoys and drones to collect marine data. Under the new initiative, the institute is designing and manufacturing the radar and lidar systems in-house and developing algorithms to ensure high data accuracy. Laboratory testing is currently under way, followed by sea trials that could extend up to a year, depending on performance.
