Current daily discharge is sufficient to meet the Kharif crop needs across Krishna delta, says an irrigation official

- Y BRAHMAJI @ Vijayawada

In a crucial development for farmers in the Krishna delta, the Water Resources Department has begun releasing 6,847 cusecs of water daily from the Prakasam Barrage to expedite Kharif season operations and safeguard paddy crops in their early stages.

The discharge began on June 15, nearly 15 to 20 days earlier than usual, following a directive from Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu to mitigate cyclone-related crop losses.

According to Anicut Assistant Engineer Rajesh, the current daily discharge is sufficient to meet the Kharif irrigation needs across the delta. Initially, 1,000 cusecs per day was released, and it was gradually ramped up to the current level to stabilise early sowing and planting activities.
