Abstract
The statement “Water is life” can be confirmed by the fact that the origin of life on Earth took place in the water. The survival of the living world without water is unimaginable. Only one percent of the total water on the entire Earth’s surface is available for drinking to all living beings including humans. In such a situation, to balance the increasing population and increasing water demand, it seems obvious that water resources, especially lakes, should be conserved and developed on priority basis. Since lakes are rich in aquatic ecosystem and greenery nearby, they are considered ideal places from the point of view of tourism development. With the development of tourism near the lakes, various aspects of local employment start coming into fruition and better recreational options are also available to the citizens. In this research paper, Mansarovar Lake located in Bhilwara city, its beauty and its important role in tourism development has been described in depth. This research paper is composed of primary and secondary sources.
