- Some loose water through underground seepage/through faults at the bed.
- Some loose water through high evaporation because of Lakes location in ASALS.
- Reduced rainfall in their catchment areas due to forest destruction thus little volume of rivers flowing into them/dried rivers.
- Increased siltation due to deforestation and improper agricultural practices in the surrounding areas hence reduced depth.
- Increased demand for water from the feeding rivers for domestic/agricultural/industrial use reduce volume of rivers flowing into lakes.
