Inter-State Tungabhadra River Water Sharing and the Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme
Falling within the larger Krishna River Basin, this project serves key agricultural segments across Telangana, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.
According to historical allocations, Telangana is designated 17.9 Thousand Million Cubic Feet (TMCFT) of water, though only 5 to 6 TMCFT is currently being utilized, leaving around 10 TMCFT unutilized.
The canal and irrigation infrastructure have returned to focus following the commissioning of 33 newly upgraded spillway crest gates at the main Tungabhadra Dam.
Resolving water sharing and modernizing RDS infrastructure is crucial for mitigating agricultural water stress in the drought-prone regions of northern Karnataka and western Telangana.
