This lake supplies water to Karachi. During War time thousands of American and British Troops were stationed in Karachi. The lake work was taken on War Footing and was completed within 24 months. It is a huge lake-perhaps 2Kmx2Kmsx0.25Km. Haleji Lake 86 kms from Karachi is the largest bird sanctuary near Karachi, where every winter, thousands of migratory birds come from as far as Siberia.
