Lake Water
तडागजलम्
Tadaga Jala (lake/reservoir water) is collected still water that does not flow continuously. It is heavier than river water and may cause channel obstruction (Abhishyanda). Lake water exposed to sunlight and wind becomes somewhat lighter and more wholesome. Stagnant water that does not receive fresh inflow becomes contaminated over time and should be avoided. Water from large, deep, clean lakes with lotus flowers growing in them is considered better quality.
