The Telangana government has been requesting Maharashtra to give 30 tmc ft water from Koyna dam and Karnataka to share 10 tmc ft water from Almatti dam to meet its drinking water needs in the coming summer season. This is due to lean water flows into the Krishna Basin projects this (water) year, Minister for Irrigation and Civil Supplies N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said.
A delegation led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy would soon visit Karnataka with the request for the release of 10 tmc ft water and it was offered to Maharashtra that Telangana would bear the cost of electricity generated with the help of 30 tmc ft in Koyna dam that was being sought for drinking needs here, Mr. Uttam Reddy said at a review meeting held here on Saturday.
