the
Begum
Talab,
spread
across
over
234
acres,
was
a
barren
wasteland,
with
few
small
pools
of
water.
The
ancient
tank, built
during
the
rule
of
Mohammad
Adil
Shah
in
1651,
has
not
seen
such
water
levels
for
the
past
five
decades.
But
under
an
ambitious
project
of
the
Water
Resources
Ministry
to
rejuvenate
and
replenish
tanks,
water
from
the
Krishna
river
has
been
drawn
to
fill
the
tank
and
recharge
ground
water.
Over
the
past
year,
a
50
km
pipeline
was
laid
from
the
river
to
the
tank.
The
tank
was
among
seven
revived
in
the
district
at
a
cost
of
Rs
190
crore.
