Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Freshwater lakes are mostly found in the Himalayan region, drained by the melting glaciers of the Himalayas. The heavy snowfall contributes to the lakes having water throughout the year. Frozen high-altitude lakes like Tsongmo in Sikkim, freshwater lakes like Loktak in Manipur, brackish lakes like Chilika in Odisha, and Pulicat in Andhra Pradesh have importance in maintaining the water flow. Several wildlife reserves and wetlands are associated with these lakes, home to abundant biodiversity. Some of these are indigenous and under threat of extinction due to habitat loss. The lakes are sources of drinking water and are home to numerous fish species.
