The Telangana government has decided to supplement water to the Jurala project located upstream of the Krishna river from the Palamuru-Rangareddy lift irrigation scheme.
The scheme, which is designed to draw water from the Srisailam reservoir, is under implementation to meet larger needs of the region and prevent Jurala, the gateway reservoir across Krishna, from drying up every summer.
Announcing the plan at Edula near Wanaparthy during his visit to combined Mahabubnagar district on Thursday to inspect the ongoing works of PalamuruRangareddy project, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao stated that the plan to supplement water to Jurala from the ongoing project would also save the State from requesting Karnataka every year to release water for drinking needs after the reservoir went dry.
