But the picture has now changed with the blessings of Mother Nature. Following a spell of good rain, Gorewada Lake is at its natural best. The lake is full up to its brim now with approx 315 Mtr water.
It was 100 and more years back in the regime of Gond King Raje Bakht Bulandshah, a woman named “Sita Gondin” built this lake and was known as “Gond Lake”. At that time, a dam admeasuring 2350 feet x 52 feet made of clay was built to stop water. Later in British era, an engineer “Major Golden” developed it and since then it is known as Gorewada Lake. Presently, it has capacity to store 6.5 MM3 water (1 Week) & is the “Water Bank” of Nagpur City.
