About the project

Project is divided into ‘7’ links and ‘28’ packages covering about 500 Kms of 13 districts and a canal network of about 1800 Kms. Project aims to utilise a total of 240 TMC (195 TMC from Medigadda barrage + 20 from Sripada Yellampalli Project + 25 TMC from groundwater). Of this 240 TMC, water has been divided as 169 TMC is for irrigation, 30 TMC for Hyderabad, 10 TMC for drinking water in villages along the project, 16 TMC for industries and 12 TMC is estimated evaporation losses. Project aims to create a new ayacut of 18.25 lakh acres in 13 districts and stabilisation of existing ayacut of 18.82 lakh acres.

LINKS

Link-I : From Medigadda Barrage on Godavari River to Sripada Yellampally Project

Water is to be reverse pumped from the confluence point of Godavari and Pranhita Rivers to Sripada Yellampally Project with the help of 3 barrages (Medigadda, Annaram and Sundilla) and 3 lifts.
At present, lifts are being commissioned with provision to lift 2 TMC (56,63,36,93,184 litres) of water per day from Medigadda. The water is lifted to backwaters of Annaram barrage. Again from Annaram barrage to Sundilla barrage. Finally from Sundilla to Sripada Yellampally Project. Civil works are being executed to lift 3 TMC per day but pumps are being installed to lift only 2 TMC. If need be, only pumps would need to be installed to increase capacity by one more TMC.

Link-II : From Sripada Yellampally Project to Mid Manair Dam

From Sirpada Yellampally Project, with the help of a gravity canal + twin tunnels of 9.5 Kms and a lift, water is lifted to Medaram Tank. From Medaram Tank, with the help of a tunnel and lift, water is lifted to Sriram Sagar Project’s (SRSP/Pochampad Project) Kakatiya Canal. Apart from this, with the help of twin tunnels and a lift, water from Medaram Tank is lifted to SRSP’s Flood Flow Canal. Which in turn flows to Mid Manair Reservoir. Here apart from stabilising existing ayacut of SRSP via canals, canals are used as a reservoir to store water.

Link-III : From Mid Manair Dam to Upper Manair Reservoir

From Mid Manair Reservoir, with the help of a tunnel of 12 Kms and a lift, water is lifted to Malkapet Reservoir. Later, from Malkapet Reservoir with the help of a gravity canal, water is lited to Upper Manair Reservoir. Thereafter, from Upper Manair, water is lifted with the help of tunnels, gravity canals and lifts to Issaipet, Bhumpally, Gujjal, Katewadi, Amarlabanda, Mothe, Thimmakka Palli and Katchapur reservoirs.

Link-IV : From Mid Manair Dam to Konda Pochamma Reservoir

In a similar way to previous links, from Mid Manair Reservoir water is lifted with the help of a tunnel of 7 Kms and a lift to Anantagiri Reservoir. Again, from Anantagiri Reservoir, with the help of a tunnel of 8 Kms and a lift, water is lifted to Imamabad Reservoir. There after, again with the help of a tunnel of 16 Kms and a lift, water is lifted to Sri Komaravelly Mallana Sagar. Sri Komaravelly Mallana Sagar is the largest reservoir proposed and has a capacity of 50 TMC. From Sri Komaravelly Mallana Sagar, with the help of a gravity canal, water is transferred to Anicut. Finally, from there, with the help of a tunnel of 8 Kms and a lift, water is lifted to Konda Pochamma Reservoir. Konda Pochamma Reservoir is the highest elevation in the project (+590m Above sea level). Later, water is transferred to Shamirpet Tank.

A new balancing reservoir is also being proposed in the outskirts of Hyderabad of 20–30 TMC to store water. The water will be supplied to this balancing reservoir in the same link.

Link-V : From Anicut to Chityala

From Anicut, a series of gravity canals and a small tunnel of 1.2 Kms are planned to transfer water to Gandhamalla Reservoir and Baswapuram Reservoir. Thereafter, gravity canals are planned towards Chityal Mandal and its villages.

Link-VI : From Sri Komaravelly Mallana Sagar to Singur Dam

From Sri Komaravelly Mallana Sagar, another sequence of gravity canals, tunnels and lifts are used to transfer water to Singur Dam. Apart from that, if need be, water can be transferred to Nizam Sagar Project and from there, to SRSP.

Link-VII : From SRSP Foreshore to Nizam Sagar Canals and to Dilwapur and Hangarga village for Nirmal and Mudhole Constituency

From foreshore waters of SRSP, water will be transferred to reservoirs at Hangarga and Dilwapur villages. Apart from this, existing reservoirs like Masani Tank and kondem Cheruvu will also be linked. Canals under Nizam Sagar will also be irrigated.

Combine the links and here you have one of a kind infrastructure project.

Future:

Like Pranhita river, Indravathi river is one of the tributaries of Godavari and remains untapped. As part of redesigning Devadula Lift Irrigation Project, another barrage is being built at the downstream after the confluence of Indravathi and Godavari rivers. A lift can be put in the backwaters of the barrage and reverse pumped to the Medigadda barrage, if needed in future.

[hyperbole]

1. 169 TMC for creating 18.25 Lakh acres new ayacut:
   
   It is estimated that each TMC of water can irrigate about 6000 to 7000 Acres. With simple maths : 169 TMC * 7000 Acres = 11,83,000 Acres. 
   
   I’ll now tell you Govt. side of the story. A decade ago, World Bank partly funded Nagarjuna Sagar Project Modernisation[1]. Aim was to repair and modernise canals to ensure waters reach to end point of the ayacut created. In 2013-14 and 2014-15, they were able to irrigate only 6000 and 5,400 Acres only. After completion of some works in 2017–18 rabi, 5.20 lakh acres were irrigated with 44.78 TMC, with each TMC providing irrigation to 11,613 acres. IP Utilised for each TMC of water was close to 10,639 acres. So, if Govt. pulls this off here,
   
   Again with simple maths : 169 TMC * 10639 Acres = 17,97,991 Acres. 
   Close enough? Right?
   
   Another argument from Govt. is that they will encourage drip irrigation like micro irrigation systems which will increase ayacut per TMC. Also, eventually with reservoirs around, ground water levels will increase. Irrigation from ground water is not something one could easily calculate. There will always be claims and counterclaims. 
   
   Might sound speculative, but even if we irrigate newer ayacut close to 15 Lakh Acres, its still a win-win because there are other impacts of this project. From Sripada Yellampally Project to Medigadda Barrage, close to 100Kms of river’s backwaters will be live for all 365 days. Backwaters will also be present from Kaleshwaram to some portion of Pranhita’s downward stream (around 30–40 Kms). You have also got new reservoirs with water. Govt. plans to promote these areas for pisciculture. There is a lot of unexplored potential in fish farming. There’s tourism potential as well. I mean a weekend getaway along backwaters is something of a dream in the state really. Proper transportation from Hyderabad + tourism resorts along river backwaters and reservoirs will be selling rooms on the go. These areas might become famous ecotourism hotspots if marketed well. This will lead to some form of increase in state revenues via agriculture, pisciculture, tourism etc. Last but not the least, promotes lots and lots of greenery.

Agree, 5000 MW solar planned for kaeshwaram, eventually they will ramp up and remember it is operational for 3-4 months

 

[hyperbole]

if you even end up spending 7000-8000 crores but will make some money back

• Usage of Water from this project
  • 169 TMC for irrigation(currently free electricity burden at 3000 crores, will atleast cut in half if water provided through canals, income and GDP growth from agriculture)
  • 30 TMC for Hyderbad Drinking water (income source)
  • 16 TMC for industrial Usage(income source)
  • 10 TMC for usage by en route villages(eventually will have to pay for water)
  • From backwater and reservoirs - pisciculture and tourism ( employment opportunities to thousands)
