Google search says that there are three lakes by the name of Kachura, the upper Kachura lake where glacial water is received and is diverted to this lower Kachura lake, one reason it is called man made lake.
It takes a drive of about 20 minutes to reach Shangrila Lake from Skardu. Shangrila Lake is a mesmerizing artificial lake with crystal clear water that comes from the upper Kachura Lake. Shangrila Resort won the Wiki loves Earth competition which commenced in the year 2015 which is proof of its breathtaking sight.

Shangrila lake also known as Lower Kachura Lake is situated in Kachura village in Skardu at an elevation of 2500 meters. The word Shangrila means Heaven on Earth and people started calling this lake Shangrila Lake after a resort was constructed over here by Muhammad Aslam Khan Afridi. This...tripako.com
Blogs are no authentic source. Even google search doesn't show Lower Kachura Lake as 'man-made'. A resort was built around the lake in 1983 only. Even if we assume that what you are saying is true (i.e.some water is now being diverted from Upper Kachura to Lower Kachura lake) it doesn't make it an artificial or man made lake.
