HNSS Project Opens Pumps for Water Release Following Canal Widening
The Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) project is now releasing more water.
This is because a canal was made wider.
The widening means more water can flow towards Jeedipalli reservoir.
The Kuppam area will get water from the HNSS canal, which is very important.
A political group is requesting that a reservoir and irrigation tanks should be filled to deal with possible water shortages.
Ten lift pumps of the Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) project have been opened to release water.
This is the first time the lifting was done after the main canal widening.
The widening of the main canal helps increase inflows towards the Jeedipalli reservoir.
Kuppam in Chittoor district will receive water through the HNSS canal.
CPI made a plea to fill Penna Ahobilum balancing reservoir and irrigation tanks.
