The name Nizam Lake is derived as it was dug up during Nizam's rule in order to harvest the water during his regime. The lake served as one of the major water resources to the city even long after independence. The lake helps for balancing the ground water table. During the tenure (1999–2004) of Mr. Ram Bhadraiah as M.L.A.; he assured the surroundings of this lake would be developed to replicate the Necklace Road
located in Hyderabad. On the contrary, instead of development, today, the lake is being ruined by incoming drainage and sewage. Recently it was adversely affected by the encroachments, due to the real estate boom which caused the lake to shrink to the very minimum. Based on the current rate of encroachments, there are apprehensions that the lake would lose its identity very soon and would be occupied by the concrete jungle and the remains of drainage, dust and litter.
The city is located on the banks of the Pakala River which is a non perennial tributary to the River Krishna. The main catchment areas of this tributary lies in the forest areas located at higher lattitudes near Eturunagaram and Narsampet. This canal serves as another water resource to the city. During the rainy season the canal flows at its fullest and soon it gets emptied with the offset of the rainy season. Very meagre amount of water is stored every year in a small older dam located across the canal at Jamandlapalli, which was constructed decades back to cater the water needs to the then amount of population. However, the present population of the city increased manifolds and the storage always falls short to serve to the demand from increased domestic population and industrial needs. In addition to that, even the stored water gets wasted due to the improper management of the dam and the amount of ever accumulated silt. There is a demand from the denizens and the civil authorities since longer time, for constructing a bigger dam in place of the present small dam, of at least 2 tmcft storage capacity. This will enable to store the water during the rainy season and would serve the water-needs during off seasons and summer. However, owing to the poor govt and civil authorities' initiatives the demand is in pending state even today.
In view of the water crisis and to benefit from the critical situations, today a lot of Mineral Water Plants were mushroomed in and around the city, claiming to provide treated water in cans/bottles of 20 litres each. The plants acquire water from the bore pumps and wells that are located in the farm lands of nearby villages. The uncapitalised pumping of the water further resulting in depletion of the city's and neighbouring areas' ground water table. Each can/bottle with water is sold at Rs 20, which can only be affordable by the 'rich'. One of the sad thing to mention here is; though the mineral water plants claim selling treated water, majority of them even do not have the mandatory ISI certification. The revenue authorities keep seizing such plants regularly. All this is due to poor initiatives by the established municipal bodies in maintaining watersheds and water distribution, however to the fact that citizens are charged with regular Municipal Taxes every year.

Water resources
The city has two major water bodies/resources. One is Nizam Lake located near the A.P.S.R.T.C. bus station and the other is a dam located towards East at Jamandlapalli. The gram panchayat of the town serves the water through public distribution pumps day after a day to individual houses. The city faces acute water crisis during summers starting from April until the onset of the monsoons which are expected at mid/end of June every year. During this time every year, people of the town face severe water problems wherein the civil authorities failed many number of times to contain the crisis. In this context plenty of times, the authorities cut the water supplies for indefinite times.The name Nizam Lake is derived as it was dug up during Nizam's rule in order to harvest the water during his regime. The lake served as one of the major water resources to the city even long after independence. The lake helps for balancing the ground water table. During the tenure (1999–2004) of Mr. Ram Bhadraiah as M.L.A.; he assured the surroundings of this lake would be developed to replicate the Necklace Road

located in Hyderabad. On the contrary, instead of development, today, the lake is being ruined by incoming drainage and sewage. Recently it was adversely affected by the encroachments, due to the real estate boom which caused the lake to shrink to the very minimum. Based on the current rate of encroachments, there are apprehensions that the lake would lose its identity very soon and would be occupied by the concrete jungle and the remains of drainage, dust and litter.
