Which one of the following statements regarding Ghadsisar Lake is NOT true ?

  • A.King Ghadsi of Jaisalmer got it made.
  • B.It was built around 650 years ago.
  • C.It was connected with nine lakes.
  • D.It is in use till today.

Answer: D

The statement that is NOT true is 'It is in use till today'.

The Class V NCERT EVS chapter 'Every Drop Counts' describes Ghadsisar, the lake made by King Ghadsi of Jaisalmer about 650 years ago and part of a chain of nine interconnected lakes, so that water overflowing from one filled the next. It then says that the lake is no longer in use, because many buildings and colonies have come up in between the nine lakes and the water no longer flows through them as before.

The other three statements are exactly what the chapter says: the king had it made, it dates from about 650 years ago, and it was connected with nine lakes. Only the last statement contradicts the textbook.
