Managing irrigation sector a challenge for new govt.
As it commences its journey post bifurcation, Andhra Pradesh is faced with the challenge of effectively managing the irrigation sector, a crucial sector for the agriculture dependent economy of the new State. The new State had been allocated 663 tmc ft of Krishna water including 150 tmc ft of surplus water as its share by the Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal headed by Brajesh Kumar. Diversion of Godavari water to Krishna, according to irrigation officials, will help reduce pressure on Nagarjunasagar project and this would in turn provide water to Rayalaseema districts. Construction of another proposed project Dummugudem – Nagarjunasagar tail pond project would ensure availability of 130 tmcft water that could be released to projects like Veligonda, Galeru-Nagari and Handri-Neeva besides meeting the requirements of the Telugu Ganga project.
