Tungabhadra dam set to fill up

Deccan Chronicle  

Ballari: The Tungabhadra dam at Hosapete which is the lifeline of six districts-three each in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh- is just short of its maximum level by ten feet. It has been getting good inflow owing to continuous rains in the catchment areas for the past one week which has raised the hopes of farmers about early release of water into the canals and of getting a good kharif yield. Tungabhadra reservoir is an inter-state project catering to the drinking water and irrigation needs of six districts — Ballari, Koppal and Raichur in the state and Anantapur, Kadapa and Kurnool districts in Andhra Pradesh. Usually, the dam gets filled by the first fortnight of August every year and water is released from the gates on August 15 which becomes a spectacle attracting thousands of people. The dam water can be released into Left Bank Main Canal, Right Bank Low-level and High Level canals and also into the ancient Raya and Basava canals, simultaneously to enable commencement of agricultural operations early.
