Telangana to operate 9 pumping units round the clock for Devadula Lift Irrigation Scheme
The Telangana government is working hard to make sure there is enough water for farmers.
They are going to run nine big pumps all day and all night to get water from the Godavari River.
This water will fill up 22 reservoirs that help nine different areas.
The minister in charge, N Uttam Kumar Reddy, said this is very important because there hasn't been enough rain.
Another leader, T Harish Rao, is not happy and is talking about problems with a different water project called Kaleshwaram.
