About Vihar Lake:
It is a man-made reservoir located near Vihar village on the Mithi River within the grounds of the Borivali National Park in North Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Source of Water: It gets its water from the Powai-Kanheri hill ranges in the catchment area.
It is the largest lake in Mumbai in the Salsette group of islands.
It is bordered between the Tulsi Lake and the Powai Lake.
It partly meets the drinking water needs of the South Mumbai region.
