Effective river water Utilization???yelaaa
>> projects katti store cheyadam maama.. mundu cheyaalsina pani.. then only we can use 'whatever' available effectively
AP govt Irrigation projects ani start chesindi??? progress??yenti
lets hope at least two of the planned will be finished during current govt term .. |

Importing the Krishna water into Rayalseema is the current approach of the government to address the problems of the area. The Telugu Ganga, Galeru-Nagari and Handri-Neeva projects are the three projects formulated in recent years to import Krishna water into Rayalaseema. The main problem is that while the dependable yields of the Krishna river for allocation are limited, every state and region demand very high allocation of water for their projects. The Government of India has therefore postponed the issue of allocation of Krishna water to anybody. Despite this, Andhra Pradesh is going ahead with these projects on the basis that these projects depend only on the surplus flood waters experienced by the Krishna river once in a few years. In the absence of clear-cut allocation of Krishna water, none of these projects can hope to get any funding from international funding agencies.
Of these three projects, work on the Telugu Ganga project which supplies drinking water to Madras city and irrigation water to Rayalaseema and Nellore district alone has been taken up. Although the drinking water component of this project has been be completed, the work on the irrigation component of the project is slow owing to financial constraints. This leads to the unhappiness the local farmers, naturally. If irrigation water is not available, farmers may obstruct water flowing to Madras city.
An important step towards tackling these problems is to take up large-scale pumpage of groundwater by high-yielding wells located in water-surplus regions during monsoon soon after surplus hydel power is available. The water so pumped should be conveyed to water-scarce upland areas to artificially recharge groundwater which gets declined owing to over-exploitation of groundwater. If the magnitude of groundwater pumpage is really high, enough flood water could get into underground to recharge the depleted groundwater and at the same reduce the flood havoc to a reasonable extent.
The projects formulated by the Government to import Krishna water to Rayalaseema, including the Telugu Ganga project, can be modified in such a way that the flood waters are allowed to artificially recharge groundwater rather than provide canal water for irrigation. By this, the cost of these projects gets drastically reduced. Such schemes are then in better position to attract funding from large donor agencies.
Thirdly, scientific analysis based on the results of water harvesting structures needs to implemented. Most of the water-harvesting works tend to get washed off during flood time, beause of their poor quality; if reports on each watershed over a period of time is made available and presented in the form of a Geographic Information System (GIS), the project management will know to what extent the project is headed in the right direction. |

Godavari waters for the Telangana region: Out of the dependable flows of the
Godavari system, 720 TMC has been utilised so far. The balance 775 TMC has
still to be tapped. If utilised, this can irrigate more than 23.5 lakh acres of backward
and drought-prone lands in the State. To realise the potential of water from the
Godavari, the State will endeavour to construct the proposed Inchampally and
Polavaram projects from which 530 TMC can be tapped. The completion of the
Sriramsagar project, Flood Flow canal and the SRSP Stage II schemes, the
augmentation of water to the Nizamsagar command and the execution of all
feasible medium and minor schemes will help harvest the remaining potential.
To achieve this, several problems need to be addressed. The Godavari flows at a
low level (below 100 metres) while lands to be irrigated are situated at a much
higher elevation (contour 300 to 500 metres). The river water carries a considerable
volume of silt, so any reservoir across it loses considerable capacity very fast.
Furthermore, any reservoir across the river would involve submersion of valuable
forest areas (some of it in other states) and coal deposits. Wherever large projects
involve such problems, innovative strategies can be used to harness water
resources. To illustrate, several small dams can be constructed to avoid submersion
of larger areas, or reservoirs can be built on the mainland to retain the storage
capacity envisaged. By pumping Godavari water into these reservoirs, vast
stretches of dry land in the Telangana region can be irrigated. |

Krishna , Godavari Punya nadulu moolam gaa Mana AP ki koodaa, kontha lo kontha water supply vundi..
Cotton sir Punyamaa ani kontha lo kontha samudram lo kalasi poyyey Godavari water ni utilize chesukuntunnaamu.. Inkaa majority of Godavari water is being wasted.... Evry yr 100s of TMCs of river water, sea lo kalusthondi....
Effective river water Utilization???yelaaa
AP govt Irrigation projects ani start chesindi??? progress??yenti
Irrigation projects meeda dicuss cheddaaam randi... Baaagaa idea vunna maamalu ikkada postandi
ps: Yee thaadu lo politics pakka na betti duscuss chesukundaammmm.... |
