Andhra Pradesh & TG staring at severe water crisis

[hydKaSher]

The drinking water needs of people for the next 70 days, Telangana and AP are headed towards the 'biggest-ever water crisis'. Water level at Srisailam reservoir has plummeted to 784.5 ft leaving the dam with muddy water, unfit for consumption. This has forced AP government to halt further release from the dam. This is the second lowest level since Srisailam dam was constructed in 1960. In 2002, the dam hit 778 ft after the government let out water to overcome severe drought.

 

Nagarjunasagar may hit a historical low of 502 ft. The water level at present is 507 feet as against minimum drawdown level of 510 ft. Water is pumped from left canal to Akkampally reservoir that supplies water to Hyderabad. Any further fall in the water level is likely to pose threat to water supplies to the city. "Hyderabad alone needs 11 tmc ft water. But with the present pumping system we can at best draw 5 tmc ft as motors will work only up to 502 ft level. To draw water from below the 502 ft mark, we need specialised pumping mechanism," said an irrigation official, adding that water powered pump (WPP) units need to be installed.

 

 

Krishna, Guntur, Prakasam and West Godavari have been reeling under severe water shortage as there has been no fresh release from Nagarjunasagar dam. Nalgonda and Khammam too have been hit. Officials of both states are trying to find ways to 'ration' water release. But the sun is playing spoilsport, evaporating water. AP and Telangana officials have decided to meet again to formulate a plan in backdrop of Central Water Commission's communication that fresh inflows in Krishna river would be possible only after June.

Take water conservation as a revolution.. not only telugu states... should be all over the country. 

• Rain water harvesting - to increase ground water levels - VVVV important
• River linking - Stop water going into the sea - VVVV important
• Recycle water - all water after domestic use must be recycled 
• Stop encroachment of lakes & Ponds. 

1st two things already started in a big way in AP and same sort of thing going in TG too(Not sure on the details)
