"water-sharing"

Telangana IT Minister D Sridhar Babu held the Centre responsible for the urea shortage in the state, urged clarity on water-sharing with Andhra Pradesh, and expressed confidence that the CBI would expose the real culprits in the advocate couple murder case

Before executing the project, the Chief Ministers of both Telugu States should discuss and finalise the water sharing ratio. This responsibility should be entrusted to the Central government, he added.

Says the AP Chief Minister had written multiple letters to Central Water Commission seeking to stop projects proposed by Telangana government on Krishna and Godavari rivers

Since the Krishna basin covers 70 per cent of Telangana and 30 per cent of Andhra Pradesh, the Chief Minister appealed to Patil to allocate 70 per cent of Krishna water to the Telangana State

The decision is likely to influence project-wise allocation for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh under Section 89 of AP Re-organisation Act of 2014

With the neighbouring State preparing to convert the RMC head regulator into another Pothireddypadu, it is feared that Telangana will yet again be deprived of its rightful share of Krishna waters

Telangana has been advocating for an equitable share of Krishna River waters since the State's bifurcation. The State's hope of securing a larger share of the river water owed to a decade-long effort. The sharing of Krishna River waters is currently based on an ad hoc arrangement agreed upon by both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, pending the final award of the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal-II.

Andhra Pradesh tried to impress before the KWDT-II that Telangana had agreed to the water sharing ratio of 66:34 before the KRMB.

Hyderabad: The Chairpersons of the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) and Godavari River Management Board (GRMB) will attend an emergency meeting to be convened by the Ministry of Jal Shakti (MoJS) on Monday in New Delhi to discuss pending water issues pertaining to Telangana and Andhra Pradesh in Krishna River basin. KRMB and GRMB Chairpersons […]

Special Chief Secretary for Irrigation Rajat Kumar reiterated that the Telangana government had sought discussion on revision of the water sharing ratio of Krishna River for the current water year.

Irked by the baseless allegations on Telangana with regard to sharing of river water in its letter to the KRMB and GRMB, Chandrashekhar Rao decided to effectively counter the sibling State’s overtures by tabling complete and true information at the ensuing Apex Council meeting putting an end to the claims of the neighbouring State.
