Badkhal Lake was a natural lake situated in Faridabad, Haryana, about 16 kilometers from Delhi.
It was a natural lake surrounded by hilly areas of the Aravali Range in Haryana.
As of May 2009, the lake is almost a completely dried up grassy terrain and the unusually low rainfall in the area has been cited. Certain mines surrounding the lake are also responsible for blockage of flow of water to the lake's reservoir. Also some mineral water companies are responsible as well, for taking water from the lake for their purposes.
On 30th November 2009, it was announced that the lake and the nearby Surajkund, would be filled up with water, by the time 2010 Commonwealth Games arrive, but no action was taken.
