The stinking stretch of polluted water that separates the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad in Andhra Pradesh is the historic Hussain Sagar lake situated in the heart of the 400 year old Hyderabad city. The lake which once received unpolluted water from upper reaches of river Musi, now receives domestic sewage and myriad chemicals from 300 odd industries.

Four industrial estates are located in its basin
