Özet:

 Niladri Lake, located in the Takerghat region of Sunamganj, Bangladesh, is a quarry lake formed from an abandoned limestone quarry. Originally a site of industrial limestone extraction, it played a key role in the local and national economies by supplying the Chhatak Cement Factory. After mining had ceased, the quarry gradually filled up with water, eventually forming Niladri Lake. To understand the historical and geological significance of Niladri Lake, the research follows its evolution from an industrial site to a restored water body. The paper covers initiatives to revitalize the region and establish ecological balance by combining environmental awareness, geological heritage preservation, and sustainable tourism. This study uses field surveys, interviews, and impact assessments to explore Niladri Lakes potential for tourism, demonstrating how to restore post-industrial landscapes for environmental and community benefit. The findings emphasize the dynamic relationship between nature and industrial activity and offer significant insights for land reclamation and sustainable tourism development.
