The Water Resources Department (WRD) has chalked out plans to release water into both Krishna Western and Eastern canals on June 10. The department advanced the water release date in view of early kharif operations in the State.
According to information, the State government has never released the water from Prakasam Barrage so early. In the last 10 years, the water was released between June 17 and August 5. While it was on June 17 in 2015-16, during 2014-15, it was on August 5. The water release date hovered between these dates during the last decade.
More so, the water is being released simultaneously for both Krishna eastern and western deltas. The water resources department, usually, releases water to western delta about 10 days after releasing water to Krishna eastern delta.
