Vijayawada: In a goodwill gesture, Andhra Pradesh authorities have given permission to Telangana government for generating hydroelectric power at the Pulichintala Project, after the reservoir has almost filled to its full capacity.
Pulichintala is reaching the brim mainly with inflows from River Musi following heavy rains in Hyderabad and from upstream projects on Krishna River. The current water level at the reservoir is 173.49 feet against FRL of 175 feet. The storage has reached 43.45 tmc ft (93.86 percent) against gross capacity of 45.77 tmc ft.
