WRD starts work to strengthen Cholavaram reservoir’s bund that bore brunt of intense rains last year

The lake’s bund runs for nearly 3.5 km and has a depth of nearly 7.5 metre. The ₹40-crore project started recently is aimed at improving nearly 1.2-km stretch of the bund. A diaphragm wall, a concrete wall constructed underground, would be provided in the vulnerable portion of 200 metre, to arrest seepage and also function as a water retaining wall
