Huluse Lake Stays Full Despite Drought

Shanivarsanthe, Sept. 29: The Huluse Lake, located in Huluse village under the nearby Handli Gram Panchayat, remains brimming with water despite the prevailing drought conditions, providing a vital water source for local farmers' agricultural activities.

This year, the monsoon rains did not arrive on schedule; only 30 inches of rainfall has been recorded since the beginning of the year. While the shadow of drought looms over the region, the full Huluse Lake serves as a lifeline, supplying water to farmers, livestock, and local wildlife.

Restoration work on the Huluse Lake began in 2025 under the 'Nammuru Namma Kere' (Our Village, Our Lake) initiative. This project was a collaborative effort involving the Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP), the Handli Gram Panchayat's 'Pragathibandhu' groups, the Kodlipet-Shanivarsanthe Self-Help Group Federations, and the Huluse Lake Development Committee.

The project was executed at a total cost of ₹4.18 lakh, comprising ₹2.84 lakh from the SKDRDP and a villager contribution of ₹1.34 lakh (covering the cost of transporting silt). The completed lake was handed over to the Handli Gram Panchayat on February 18, 2026. Thanks to the villagers' excellent maintenance of the lake, it has remained consistently water-rich.
