The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Heavy monsoon rains have filled the rejuvenated Nalla Cheruvu lake in Uppal, transforming what was once a sewage- and garbage-ridden water body into a lake with defined shape and size.
- The Hyderabad Disaster Response & Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) has expanded the lake to 70 acres after clearing encroachments on 10 acres, spending about ₹20 crore on its development.
- New inlets bring storm water and excess flows into the lake, an outlet drains to the Musi River, and works like bund strengthening, a walking track, parks and a play area are underway.
- The lake is one of six chosen in HYDRAA's first phase to be developed as an urban waterfront, though it is yet to be formally launched as a recreational space and some sewage still enters it during heavy rains.
What to watch next
- Formal launch of the lake as a recreational space for neighbouring colonies
- Impact of sewage entering the lake during the dry season versus heavy rains
- Progress of development on the other five lakes in HYDRAA's first phase
