MeedhiKunta Lake Revival

PROBLEM 🤔

In the heart of Hyderabad, surrounded by Aparna County, Matrusrinagar, SMR Fountainhead is where Meedikunta lake lies. The lake was surrounded by several problems that needed to be tacked one at a time. From open defecation to no pathways to the lake, it had it all. It was covered with dense undergrowth and trash simultaneously with underground water pollution. Since it was used as a dumping ground equally by the society and industries, it led to becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes and harmful viruses. The rainwater inlets were choked while sewage inlets were opened into the lake. Overall, the lake required a helping hand to prevent further encroachment.

SOLUTION

Due to the constant efforts of our students, The lake was cleaned and restored to its pristine beauty. A bund on all four sides and proper boundaries along with jogging and cycling tracks was established. A clear path surrounding the lake was made, with conventional sanitation standards. We cleared the undergrowth, and stopped open defecation, and removed encroachment. Even amidst the lockdown protocols and a deadly virus spreading terror, our committed team persisted on the completion of the urban lake revival of Meedikunta.
