Abstract

In this article, we narrate the story of how Sampangi Lake, a central lake that was once a very important component of the city's water supply, became a contested site fought over by British polo players and Indian orchard owners. It later transformed into a sports stadium, which ironically also is the site of water conservation meetings today.
