Hyderabad: Telangana ke Godavari basin mein monsoon shuru hone ke 2 mahine baad bhi reservoirs mein inflows kam hone ke sabab irrigation department ne paani sirf limited ayacut ke liye release karne ka faisla kiya hai. Wednesday ko ek high-level committee meeting mein engineers ne current storage ka assessment karte hue 4.72 lakh acres ke liye irrigation water release approve kiya.
Iss faislay ka sabab kam barish aur region bhar mein water storage ki kami hai. Committee ke mutabiq, sanctioned area ko irrigate karne ke liye 50.34 TMC ft paani ki zarurat hogi. Agar aage jaake inflows improve hote hain to aur bhi ayacut ko cover kiya ja sakta hai.
Is plan ke tahat, Sri Ram Sagar Project se 2.35 lakh acres tak paani pohchaya jaayega. Saath hi Alisagar, Gutpa aur Manthani se lift irrigation schemes bhi shuru ki ja rahi hain.
Medium irrigation projects jo is round mein paani receive karenge unmein Upper Manair, Gaddenna Vagu, Gollavagu, Ralivagu, Ghanpur Anicut, NTR Sagar, Ramadugu, Nallavagu, Laknavaram, Malluruvagu, Sadar Math Anicut, Choutuppal Hanumanth Reddy, Palemvagu, aur Neelwai shamil hain.
Dusri taraf, Krishna basin ke Dindi project se bhi 13,000 acres ke liye paani release kiya jaayega.
