Telangana has experienced an extraordinary monsoon season, with rainfall 35% above normal from June to November. The extended rains, driven by Cyclone Montha and Bay of Bengal systems, have led to record-breaking inflows in major reservoirs across the Krishna and Godavari basins.
The State-level Committee for Integrated Water Planning and Management (SCIWAM) has announced plans to extend irrigation support to nearly 43 lakh acres during the Rabi season of 2024-25. This decision, made during a meeting on Tuesday, will make approximately 350 TMC of water available under major and medium irrigation projects in both the Krishna and Godavari basins.
