2000: In the early 2000s, if one were to visit the lake, they would be greeted with the sight of families and friends in boats, rowing in the water, while some people would sit on the rocks along the lake and fish.

After the natural creation of Durgam Cheruvu it was said that it will be used to supply drinking water for the Golkonda Fort.

From a deep murky green, Hyderabad Secret Lake now is a sparkling blue.

Because of the unique rock formations abutting the lake, it was designated as a protected area.

In 2001, the tourism department of the local government initiated steps to promote the lake as a tourist destination. As a part of this, five boats were to be deployed at the lake.
