Vihar Lake is Mumbai's largest lake. It is situated in the Borivali National Park in northern Mumbai. Vihar lake is sandwiched between Tulsi Lake and Powai Lake are the other two lakes in the vicinity. The Powai-Kanheri hill ranges serve as the catchment area for rain water which feeds the lake. As one of Mumbai's water sources, it meets part of the city's water requirement, especially to the South Mumbai region. Its overflow level is measured at 80.42 metres.
Access to the lake for the general public has been curtailed since sometime around 1995 due to perceived threats to the Mumbai public. It can still be viewed in many Bollywood movies in a long shot taken from filmcity.
