You must have heard about the Hussain Sagar Lake. It is in Hyderabad. It is
one of the largest man- made lakes. Hyderabad and Secunderabad are the twin
cities of the State. The lake connects these cities. It was originally constructed to
supply drinking water. Now it is not used as a drinking water source. People say,
“This is sad. There is plenty of water. Nobody can drink it.” The lake faces a few
threats. The main threat is encroachment by both private and public agencies. The
lake also faces the problem of pollution. One of the locals said, ‘Oh, sometimes it
stinks horribly.” This is due to the continuous discharge of domestic wastes and
industrial chemicals. Hence it is our duty to save the Hussain Sagar Lake.
