Okay, maybe I am too dumb to get this, but what is this supposed to mean?
When work started, the lake had 4-feet-and-3-inch water and the people of Pushkar were hopeful that they would soon have a cleaner, deeper lake, which had been desilted,” said Radhe Shyam Sharma of Pushkar Market Association. He said when last year the district administration started desilting work the lake became wider and deeper and as a result could not conserve rainwater for even a week. The lake’s depth was 15 feet, but this increased to 25 feet. Rainwater is the primary source for the lake. [link](Emphasis added)
Is there any reason if the lake became deeper it could not, “as a result”, conserve water?
Maybe, the IITians can tell us…
Of course, the possibility that this might be another example of TOI’s inept reporting simply does not arise…

maybe something to do with soil geology !! They dug up the dense mud which would not allow water to permeate.
(not an IITian)
The funny part is the government .. they couldnt even get digging a lake right..
Hello!
Can’t you see, the urgent need was to slam somebody/something to fill what otherwise would’ve been empty sheets filled with advertisements?
And these are all really ‘deep’ issues, not for less mortals like you and me to delve on!
Take care.
