Andhra Pradesh activates the Pothireddypadu Head Regulator; with cumulative inflows crossing 205 TMC at Srisailam, 95 TMC at Jurala and 51 TMC at NSP, the Krishna basin is witnessing a bountiful monsoon
Jurala Project on the Krishna river faces serious maintenance issues with damaged crest gates amid surging inflows. Delays in repairs, reduced storage due to siltation, and rising water levels have sparked concern over the dam's flood-handling capability
Bountiful rainfall this year had initially promised to end the scarcity conditions of the last few years, but water management issues between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have come to the fore again
Telangana has already made it clear that it will no longer agree to the 34:66 per cent water sharing ratio with Andhra Pradesh. Instead, the State is insisting on a 50:50 share of the Krishna river water between the two States
The Board has convened a meeting of its three member committee on October 5 at Hyderabad to discuss the indents and plan the water releases till May 31, 2024.
