Urugayya Lake also known as Choladoruvu, is situated in the north-eastern part of Sriharikota Island. It has an expanse of about one square kilometer and is more or less perennial, having dried on only two occasions during the last five decades. The water is clear and brackish, and devoid of aquatic vegetation and has a maximum depth of 4 m. The salinity increases considerably during the summer months averaging that of sea water. Almost freshwater conditions prevail during the peak monsoon season. The excess water of Urugayya flows into the Bay of Bengal during the monsoon season via the Sateneru-Sidimuthu Kayya.
