Detailed Solution
Sala Lake is located in Arunachal Pradesh. Badkhal Lake is situated near the Aravalli hills in the Faridabad region of Haryana. It remained a well-known tourist lake for a long period and, after drying up, became the subject of a rejuvenation project.
Loktak Lake is situated in Bishnupur district of Manipur and is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Northeast India. Its distinctive feature is its floating biomass known as Phumdis. The Keibul Lamjao National Park, known as a floating national park and an important habitat of the Sangai deer, lies in the southern part of the lake.
Kaliveli/Kazhuveli Lake is a large brackish wetland situated on the Coromandel Coast in Villupuram district of Tamil Nadu. It is connected with the Bay of Bengal through Uppukalli Creek and provides an important habitat for migratory birds.
Thus, the correct matching is Sala–Arunachal Pradesh, Badkhal–Haryana, Loktak–Manipur and Kaliveli–Tamil Nadu.
