Since KRMB is carefully connected with the CWC and also MoJS, it is asked for to acquire the needed information or files and also connect the very same at the earliest, making it possible for to provide more talk about the draft policy contours.

“The KRMB ignored pertinent issues raised by Telangana. We are not asking for any confidential or classified documents of the CWC or KRMB,” Muralidhar claimed.

All files such as the CWC note, technological document in between the State government and also CWC and also technological information of the parts of the frameworks authorized by the CWC can be shared with no argument. These information pertain to Telangana as it is the follower State of once AP to which the information is concerned. Further, the information is associated with a tank, which prevails for Telangana and also Andhra Pradesh, he claimed.

Since it was plainly pointed out that while attracting 19 TMC of water, the Minimum Draw Down Level (MDDL) is the standards for drawl of 2,250 cusecs (750 cusecs for SRBC plus 1,500 cusecs of CWSS) and also flooding problems are the standards for launch of 11,150 cusecs.

From the TAC note, it is additionally clear that the circulations to be drawn away are just flooding streams. Hence, without recognizing the MDDL, the degree to release 11,150 cusecs, capacities of the head regulatory authority at numerous degrees in the tank and also primary canal area thought about in the note for clearance of the SRBC and also CWSS by Planning Commission (16th TAC of 1981), it is not feasible to get to the policy degrees.

Later, the alcohol consumption water to the Hyderabad cosmopolitan city, which is within the Krishna container, is attracted fromNagarjunasagar Therefore, as mandated by the KWDT-I Award, the main duty of the Srisailam tank is to launch water to Nagarjunasagar, regardless of the water degrees at
