Saroornagar Lake
Artificial lake in Hyderabad, Telangana / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saroornagar Lake is a lake in Hyderabad, India. From the year of its creation in 1626, the lake remained largely clean until 1956 when Hyderabad expanded.[2] Spread over 99 acres (40 ha), the lake was restored by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority in 2003–04 at a cost of ₹200 million (US$2.5 million).[3] After the restoration of the lake, migratory birds returned to the lake in large numbers a few years later.[1]
