History


Khajaguda Lake was built in 1897 during the reign of 6th Nizam Nawab Mahboob Ali Khan . This lake was spread over 618-acre (2.50 km2). This lake supplied water to 900 acres of Ayakattu in Kamareddy , Sarampally and Narsampally areas.


Maintenance


The GHAC (Great Hyderabad Adventure Club) has been carrying out clean sweep days on the lake shore in 2013[1] and 2014.[2]


Tourism


With the hills to the South of the lake, the site is a popular spot for outdoor activities, such as hiking and bouldering.[3][4] In the beginning of 2019, some illegal quarrying was carried out, and parts of the boulders have been destroyed, even though the High Court directed the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority to ensure that the boulders were not damaged.[5][6]


Sewage Treatment Plant


A small sewage treatment plant is located in the easternmost corner of the lake(Pedda Cheruvu). It treats 7 MLD (7 million liters per day = 7 000 m3/d).[7]
