Water Released for Rabi Crops in Anantapur
In Anantapur district, important people released water from a big project called BTP to help farmers grow crops.
This water will help farmers during a special growing season called Rabi.
The project can hold a lot of water, but because of heavy rain, extra water is being sent to other areas to fill up tanks.
Farmers are asked to use the water carefully to grow more crops.
The water will help about 5,000 acres of land right now, but the project can help up to 12,000 acres.
Water released from the BTP project to support Rabi crops in Anantapur district.
Whip Kalava Srinivasulu and Anantapur MP Ambika Lakshmi Narayana performed rituals before releasing the water.
Current irrigation benefits extend to 5,000 acres, with a total ayacut of 12,000 acres.
Surplus water from heavy rainfall in Karnataka is being released downstream to fill irrigation tanks.
Farmers advised to use water judiciously to aim for higher crop yields.
