Two things come to my mind. First, do they drain water from the lake in the rainy season? If so why? Why not just let the lake deplete itself naturally so that there is water left in it during the dry season?
Second, why is it that this is the only lake that appears to go completely dry. It is a lake that is highly visible to all including outsiders who may be considering buying here. I would thing that we'd want this lake above all to look nice 365 days a year. When it is empty, not only is it an eyesore, but it smells awful as well.
Dredging would make the lake able to hold more water so that the water level would be lower but the bottom could be covered.
