Originally the seasonal flow entered the lake directly causing heavy siltation. To check the inflow of silt, 25.42 kms of land was acquired in the catchment area and put under vegetation. In 1974, the Choe was diverted and made to bypass the lake completely, the lake being fed by three siltation pots, minimizing the entry of silt into the lake itself.
