Hyderabad, July 5 (Namaste Telangana): Kalleshwaram project floods are wreaking havoc. With the aim of supplying water to SRSP reservoir, the floodwaters are flowing from the lower side to the upper side. On Wednesday, the floodwaters from Kalleshwaram entered the Varad canal. Currently, the canal is overflowing. Water is being diverted from the Laxmi Pampahouse to the Saraswati and Parvathi Pampahouses, and then to the Ellampalli reservoir.
From there, through tunnels, water is being diverted from Nandimedaram and Gayatri Pampahouses to Varadakaluva and Jalaalalakunta. The Varad canal has a total capacity of 1.5 TMC, out of which it is currently carrying 122 kilometers of excess water. This excess water is being diverted to SRSP through Kalleshwaram floodwaters. Officials are working towards maintaining the water level in the canal. Additionally, water is also being released from Rajarajeshwara reservoir to Annapurna and from there to Ranganayak Sagar through Kalleshwaram floodwaters. Water is flowing into the fields through floodgates.
Chief Minister KCR is continuously monitoring the process of Kalleshwaram floodwaters diversion. He is giving directions to officials regularly. The CM is keen on ensuring that the floodwaters are directed from one place to another through various pumps. The online monitoring of water levels in these reservoirs is being done regularly. The flow of excess water into the reservoirs is stable and under control.
In conclusion, the Kalleshwaram project floods have caused the Varad canal to overflow, leading to the diversion of excess water to various reservoirs. The Chief Minister is personally overseeing the process and ensuring that water is directed effectively to meet the needs of different regions. The constant monitoring and management of the floodwaters are helping maintain stability and prevent any adverse effects.
