Despite heavy monsoon rains filling Telangana’s reservoirs, farmers remain wary of a repeat of last year’s irrigation failures. The 2024–25 Rabi season was marred by poor water distribution despite SCIWAM’s planning.
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.
