|---|---|
| Introduction | What and where it is — district and state |

| Water | Rain-fed from Aravalli runoff — the hydrology page, where the water is collected from |
| Tourism | Delhi-NCR day trips, activities, tourism history — the tourism-department angle |
| Ecology | Birds, scrub habitat, seasonality — the birds and habitat guide |
| Conclusion | Pressures, conservation and your own view — its economic and ecological value |
Points worth including
These lift an essay above a list of facts.
- The lake is engineered, not natural, and that shapes everything about it
- Being rain-fed makes it fragile as well as seasonal
- Its value is ecological and hydrological, not only recreational
- Urban growth in Gurugram is the central pressure
- Silting quietly reduces the lake's usefulness over decades
Handling uncertain figures
Write: "Published figures for area and depth vary, and the water spread changes with rainfall." Then cite one source with its year. how big the lake is and how deep the lake is explain the reasoning.

How long should the essay be?
