Lake Bandung
Lake Bandung () was a prehistoric lake located in and around the city of Bandung, Parahyangan highlands, West Java, Indonesia. believed to exist between 126,000 and 20,000 BCE in the Pleistocene due to the violent eruption of Mount Sunda that blocked the Citarum River, causing the lowlands to begin to be inundated with water, eventually forming a lake. Today, the lake had dried out and revealed the bottom of a geological basin known as the Bandung basin. It is mostly filled with habitation and industrial areas, paddy fields and orchards. It is believed that this low-lying basin has caused the southern suburbs of Bandung to suffer seasonal flooding during the rainy season, as the Citarum river that formed the lowermost backbone of the basin overwhelms and swells. Formation Miocene period During the Miocene period, the northern Bandung area was a sea, as evidenced by coral fossils that formed a coral reef along the Rajamandala ridge.
