Hyderabad, June 1 (Maxim News); The Krishna river basin kicked off the 2025-26 water year on a high note, with the Srisailam dam, a joint project of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, receiving an impressive inflow of over 30,000 cusecs on the first day (on Sunday). This inflow, fueled by widespread rainfall in the upstream regions of Maharashtra and Karnataka, has brought cheer to farmers in both states.
For the past three days, the Srisailam dam has been witnessing consistent flood flows, the volume of which touched close to one lakh cusecs mark two days ago.
According to irrigation officials, the dam has received nearly 15 (TMC) of water in the last three days of the previous water year 2024-25, a rare occurrence in recent history. This substantial inflow helped in boosting the reservoir’s live storage, providing much-needed relief to the agricultural and drinking water needs of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
A senior official from the Irrigation Department noted, “The early and robust inflows into Srisailam are a promising sign for the water year. The heavy rainfall in Maharashtra and Karnataka has swelled the Krishna River and its tributaries, ensuring a steady flow into the dam. This is a rare and welcome event, especially after years of fluctuating inflows due to erratic monsoons.”
Jurala and Tungabhadra, both upstream projects in the basin, have also been receiving good inflows and they have been contributing five to six TMC of water every single day adding to the live storage of Srisailam project. (Maxim News)
