AP Reserves Rayalaseema Reservoirs for Drinking Water

The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to use the water from Tungabhadra and Handri Neeva Sujala Sravanti reservoirs mainly for drinking purposes instead of irrigation.

This is because there has been less rain due to El Niño, which has reduced the water in these reservoirs.

The government is worried about drinking water supplies in areas like Anantapur, Kurnool, and Chittoor.

They are making plans to ensure that people have enough water to drink by filling storage tanks and drilling new borewells.

The government is also monitoring the situation closely to make sure everyone has access to drinking water.
