== History ==
In 1626, the lake was created for agricultural and drinking purposes. Spread over {{convert|99|acre}}, the lake has a maximum depth of {{convert|6.1|m}}. It is one of five major water bodies in [[Hyderabad, India|Hyderabad]]. After 1956 when Hyderabad became the state capital of the [[Andhra Pradesh]], the city witnessed unprecedented population growth, industrialisation and agriculture using synthetic [[fertilizers]] and [[insecticides]]. Inevitably, untreated [[domestic sewage]], [[solid waste]] and industrial effluents entered into the [[drainage basin|catchment area]] of this lake.<ref name="book"/>

In 2003, the Minister of Tourism for Andhra Pradesh announced that the lake and its surroundings would be developed at a cost of {{INRConvert|200|m}}. As a part of this initiative, two [[sewage treatment plant]]s with the capacity to treat 250 million litres of sewage a day were to be installed. In addition to this, tourism-centric facilities such as a boating facility in the lake, a children's park and a restaurant were to be taken up. The minister also announced that all construction activity on the lake bed were to be stopped.<ref name="renovation_invest"/> Soon after, city's civic agency [[Hyderabad Urban Development Authority]] took up the task of cleaning up the lake.<ref name="cleaned">{{cite news|title=Keep the city clean, the Japanese way|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-12-11/hyderabad/27147772_1_hussainsagar-city-lakes-flow-of-industrial-effluents|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103215649/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2004-12-11/hyderabad/27147772_1_hussainsagar-city-lakes-flow-of-industrial-effluents|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 November 2012|access-date=10 November 2010|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=11 December 2004}}</ref>
