Telangana Reservoirs Benefit from Timely Monsoon Rainfall Today
The monsoon rains in Telangana are helping many water reservoirs fill up.
The biggest one, Sripada Yellampalli, is getting a lot of water and will keep filling for about a week.
Water is being pumped from this reservoir to another one called Mid-Manair.
Some other reservoirs, like Kaddam and Jurala, are also getting water but their flow is expected to drop soon.
One important reservoir, Nagarjunsagar, which supplies drinking water to Hyderabad, is still dry and is not expected to get water for the next few days.
Sripada Yellampalli reservoir receiving ~150,326 cusecs, expected to stay high until Aug 6.
Pumping from Yellampalli to Mid-Manair can continue for a week, delivering 12‑20 tmc ft/day.
Kaddam project flows at 26,512 cusecs, projected to drop to ~3,600 cusecs by week’s end.
Jurala project receiving 118,000 cusecs, expected to fall to ~60,000 cusecs by Aug 6.
Nagarjunsagar reservoir remains dry, no inflows expected in coming days.
