KRMB Urges Telangana to Halt Water Use for Power Amid Dispute with Andhra Pradesh
The Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) has urged Telangana to stop drawing water from the Srisailam reservoir for power generation to conserve water for drinking needs amid rapidly depleting storage. A recent three-member committee meeting failed to resolve the water-sharing dispute between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, with both states accusing each other of unilateral water withdrawals. The KRMB plans a full board meeting later this month to address the ongoing deadlock over water allocation during this lean year.
