Rains Boost Reservoir Levels and Irrigation Prospects in Telangana
Recent rains and upstream floods have steadily increased water storage in Telangana's major reservoirs across the Krishna and Godavari basins. Projects like Jurala, Srisailam, and Yellampally have seen significant inflows, with Jurala reservoir reaching nearly 90,000 cusecs and prompting spillway discharges. These developments have improved irrigation prospects and raised hopes among farmers for the Kharif crop season. Forecasts indicate continued inflows and flood discharges from upstream reservoirs in Karnataka and Maharashtra over the coming days.
