In the wake of release of GO by the Andhra Pradesh government over the construction of Lift irrigation scheme at Pothireddypadu to use Krishna Water from Srisailam, the two Telugu states Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are once again clashed over the usage of water. While the Telangana government alleges that the AP government is using excessive water, the AP government says that we are using the water allocated to us. In this backdrop, Krishna Board Technical Committee would reportedly meeting today to discuss how Telugu States can use surplus water in Krishna Basin. The conference will be held via video conference. The committee members are from Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Delhi, which is headed by the Chief Engineer of the Central Water Commission. Members of the AP and Telangana officials would also present at meeting.
As per Rule, so far 811 TMCs have been allocated to AP and Telangana in net waters of Krishna Basin with 299 TMCs to Telangana and 512 TMCs for Andhra Pradesh to be used. However, Heavy rains in Karnataka and Maharashtra caused in the past few years have increased the water quantity in Krishna river Then the Krishna Basin gets more than 811 tmc of water. How to share the surplus water has not yet decided. With this Krishna board thought it would be worth if that problem is solved hence they sought the centre help. The Center has constituted a technical committee.
The central government has set up a technical committee to discuss the matter and take a decision; if this committee discusses the issue in well manner, the two states issues will be resolved.
