Hydrology experts, irrigation engineers and State Water Resource Department authorities are keeping their fingers crossed on the impact of the record inflow of flood into Polavaram project.
The last Godavari flood had damaged the project's diaphragm wall due to some technical problems, leading to an estimated additional cost of ₹600 crore to rebuild the facility, according to Water Resource Minister Ambati Rambabu.
Meanwhile, experts have been tasked with finding a robust solution on how to proceed with the damaged diaphragm wall. However, they are yet to offer any scientific conclusion and solution for it.
