Sankey tank, a manmade lake or tank, is situated in the western part of Bangalore in the middle of the neighbourhoods of Malleshwaram, Vyalikaval and Sadashivanagar.[1] The lake covers an area of about 15 ha (37.1 acres). At its widest, the tank has a width of 800 m (2,624.7 ft).[2]
Sankey tank was constructed by Col. Richard Hieram Sankey (RE)[3] of the Madras Sappers Regiment, in 1882, to meet the water supply demands of Bangalore.[4] The tank was also known as Gandhadhakotikere, as the Government Sandalwood Depot used to be located near the lake.
