Current status of Srisailam Dam

A new report to Andhra Pradesh’s head Srisailam Dam states that the flood flow in the dam has been reduced at present, while the high outflow of water continues. This situation can become a matter of concern for farmers and water management officials. Srisailam Dam, which is located on the Krishna River, is an important source of drinking water, irrigation and power generation for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The water level of the dam and the balance of inflow-outflow are extremely important for agriculture and power supply of the region.

Analyzing the current situation, low inflow means that the amount of water coming from the upper catchment areas in the dam has decreased. This may be due to a decrease in monsoon activities or storage of water in upper dams. Despite this, the high outflow of water continues from the dam, which may be to meet power generation or irrigation needs in lower areas.

If the inflow remains low and the outflow is high, the dam’s water level may fall gradually. This condition can affect the availability of water for irrigation in low -lying areas and power generation in the long run, which is a matter of concern for farmers who depend on the water of Srisailam. Water Resources Department and concerned officials will have to closely monitor the condition of inflow and outflow so that the water level of the dam can be managed efficiently.

Such fluctuations are common during monsoon, but long-term trends are important for future water availability. Farmers and other stakeholders are advised to pay attention to the reports of official water level and flow so that they can plan their agricultural activities.
