Water pumping operations have commenced at the Gayatri pumphouse in Karimnagar district to divert Godavari river water to the Mid-Manair Dam. This effort aims to support local farmers facing irrigation challenges due to erratic rainfall.
Why it matters
Efficient water management and irrigation infrastructure are vital for agricultural stability in regions prone to climate-induced rainfall variability.
Pumping of water from the Gayatri pumphouse at Laxmipur village in Ramadugu mandal of Karimnagar district began on Wednesday to divert Godavari waters from the Sripada Sagar Yellampalli project to the Mid-Manair Dam.
According to sources, the Yellampalli project is receiving inflows of around 56,000 cusecs from upstream areas. Water is being lifted from the Yellampalli project by operating motors at the Nandi Medaram pumphouse in Dharmaram mandal of Peddapalli district.
