MLA Bojju Patel urges prudent irrigation water use in Khanapur
Farmers in a place called Khanapur need water to grow their crops.
A leader named Bojju Patel talked to them about water.
He works for the people of Khanapur as their MLA.
This season, called Kharif, is when they plant their crops.
But it has not rained as much as everyone hoped.
Scientists say the weather might stay dry because of El Nino.
So Patel asked farmers to be careful with the water.
He told them to grow crops that do not need a lot of water.
If the water runs low, people may not have enough to drink later.
That is why he wants everyone to share the water wisely.
Khanapur MLA Vedma Bojju Patel urged farmers to use irrigation water judiciously for Kharif crops.
Water was released separately from the Kadam Narayan Reddy Project and Sadar Matt on Sunday.
Patel cited below-expectation rainfall and said El Nino could affect rainfall patterns this year.
The Kadam project is at full capacity and Sadar Matt has sufficient water, but releases may become phased if levels decline.
Farmers were advised to prefer short-duration, low-water crops to prevent future drinking water shortages.
