AP allowed to draw 92.5 tmc ft and Telangana 82.9 tmc ft
The Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) has approved fresh indents of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for utilisation of 175.42 tmc ft of water together during the three-month period from January 1 to March 31 this year from the two common reservoirs Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar to meet drinking water and irrigation needs.
Of the total allocation, 92.5 tmc ft is for AP and 82.92 tmc ft for Telangana. Although AP had requested for allocation of 108.5 tmc ft for the three-month period, the river board, in the three-member committee meeting held on February 5, asked it to give a fresh indent up to 92.5 tmc ft following the insistence of Telangana that water should not be drawn below 810 feet level in Srisailam and not below 520 ft in Nagarjunasagar before March-end.
