Saroornagar Lake

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. Spread over 99 acres (40 ha), the lake was restored by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority in 2003-04 at a cost of Indian rupee20 crore (US$ 4.54 million). After the restoration of the lake, migratory birds returned to the lake in big numbers a few years later.
