Around 60 kilometres away from Hyderabad, the stretch suddenly turns into a green utopia. The trees are spread over 100 acres. The once rocky and barren land has now turned lush green. Locals say it has not rained here for 120 years. But for the last couple of years, things have changed. So much that rainwater harvesting ponds have become full and even flooded.
The number of trees planted here resulted into rising groundwater.
