Telangana is likely to receive nearly 25 per cent below-normal seasonal rainfall, according to the ECMWF outlook. With utilisable storage in Krishna and Godavari reservoirs at critically low levels, available water is expected to be sufficient mainly for drinking unless monsoon inflows improve.
Continuous rains have brought heavy inflows to major Telangana irrigation projects, with Nagarjuna Sagar, Srisailam, Jurala, Musi, and Sriram Sagar nearing full capacity as floodwaters steadily raise storage levels across reservoirs.
