The Telangana government has decided to start dredging operations in its reservoirs to improve water storage and management. This plan follows the guidelines set by the Union Ministry of Jal Shakti and shows the state’s effort to enhance its water infrastructure.
As part of this decision, the government has given permission to the Irrigation Department to begin dredging in one of the reservoirs as a pilot project. Dredging helps remove silt and sediment that build up over time, which can reduce the reservoir’s capacity to store water and impact its quality.
This effort is important for solving water management issues in the state. By removing the silt, the government hopes to ensure better water availability for farming, drinking, and other needs. It will also help improve the overall efficiency of the reservoirs, contributing to long-term water sustainability.
The Telangana government aims to make this pilot project a model for future water conservation efforts. Depending on the success of this project, similar operations could be carried out in other reservoirs across the state.
