In the wake of scanty inflows into major reservoirs in the Krishna Basin so far this season, particularly the common reservoirs of Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar, the Telangana government has reiterated its request to the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) to restrain Andhra Pradesh from drawing water from the two common reservoirs stating that it has already drawn excess quantity.
Telangana has also sought the river board to reconcile the utilisation of water made so far and the needs in the next three-member committee meeting comprising engineers-in-chief of the two States and the member-secretary of the board. Telangana has brought to the notice of the board that in addition to the 51.745 tmc ft water drawn in excess of its entitlement during the 2022-23 water year, A.P. had availed 15.606 tmc ft excess water this water year so far.
