Project Overview

Reviving Kokapet Lake, Restoring Nature

Kokapet Lake is an important urban water body in Hyderabad that has faced environmental challenges due to rapid urbanization, waste accumulation, sewage inflow, and declining water quality.

Dhruvansh NGO, led by environmentalist Madhulika Choudhary, has worked toward the ecological restoration of the lake using sustainable solutions such as bio-remediation, phytoremediation, Floating Treatment Wetlands, and native plantation.

The restoration efforts aim to revive the lake ecosystem, improve water quality, support biodiversity, and encourage community participation in protecting Kokapet Lake for the future.

Our Restoration Process

Scientific Study

We conducted water tests, identified pollution sources, and mapped lake conditions to design a data-driven restoration plan.

Floating Wetlands

We installed plant-based floating treatment wetlands that naturally filter pollutants, stabilize water quality, and support biodiversity.

Floating Aeration

Floating aerators enhance water movement and boost oxygen levels, supporting quick and more natural recovery of the lake area too.

Habitat Restoration

Native plants and strengthened shorelines restore natural habitats and support a healthier lake ecosystem.

Community Engagement

Volunteers, schools, and residents joined awareness sessions and clean-up drives, building collective responsibility for the lake.

Sustainable Monitoring

Regular assessments, plantation care, and seasonal upkeep ensure long-term protection and preserve the revived lake ecosystem.
