Low reservoir levels raise Kharif season concerns

Farmers in Kurnool and Nandyal districts are worried because the reservoirs that usually provide water for farming during the Kharif season are not filling up as expected.

Normally, these reservoirs get water from the monsoon rains, but this year the water levels are much lower than last year.

This means farmers have to rely more on local rainfall, which is not enough.

The Srisailam and Tungabhadra reservoirs, which are very important for irrigation, have very low water levels.

This is making it hard for farmers to plan their crops, and they are feeling uncertain about the upcoming farming season.
