 We should know
The Earth, The water and the
Air not a gift to us from our
parents but a loan from our
children.

Water:
Is key to sustainable development
Critical to socio-economic and
environmental dimension
Is life, essential for human health
Has no substitute for water

prime parameter for poverty
reduction and this responsibility
rests with Governments “

 Preamble
Profile of Godavari River:
River Godavari is the biggest interstate
river of Peninsular India traversing
through Maharastra, Telangana and
Andhra Pradesh. The Godavari basin lies
in Maharastra, Madhya Pradesh,
karnataka,Chattisgarh,Orissa,Telangana
and Andhra Pradesh and it is divided into
12 sub basins i.e. G1 to G12.`
5
Existing projects in Telangana mostly lie in sub basin G4 , G5

G4: Manjira Sub Basin is lying in the states of Maharastra,

Karnataka and Telangana.

G5: Middle Godavari basin lies in the states of Mahasatra and

Telangana

G4 : Sub Basin: Singur,Nizam sagar,Ghanpur anicut are three

important existing projects in this sub basin and not receiving
the adequate inflows as planned and the situtation is likely to
deteriorate further.

G5: Sub Basin: Sriram sagar Project and the ongoing sripada
sagar project(Yellampally) are the two major projects in G5 sub
basin.

6
Sriram sagar project was contemplated with a
storage capacity of 112 TMC to irrigate 9.80 lakh
acres in stage-1 and 4.4 lakh acres under stage-2
with available yield at 75% dependability of 196
TMC.
The present capacity is reduced to 80 TMC and
yield dwindled down to 145 TMC that too received
once in three years.
The maximum ayacut irrigated in any year is
hardly 5 lakh acres.

7
Due to construction of storage Dams,
Barrages by Maharastra ,Telangana
Projects lying in Manjira sub basin,Middle
Godavari sub basin and in G1,G2,G3 sub
basins (lying fully in Maharastra) are not
receiving their planned utilisation and there
is lot of deficiency for major projects like
Singur,Nizamsagar and Sriram sagar
projects.

8
 It is evident that Telangana projects lying
in G4,G5 basin are not receiving their
planned utilization and there is lot of
deficiency for all Major projects like Nijam
sagar,SRSP,Sripada sagar,FFC of SRSP etc
which requires importation of water to
improve their efficiency.

9
G9 sub basin Pranahitha river is the largest
tributary of Godavari which constitutes more
than 33% of dependable yield to entire river
godavari.
Total Godavari contribution at 75%
dependability is about 3200 TMC. The available
yield @ 75% dependability as per GWDT award in
the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh area including
Telangana area is 1480TMC of which Telangana
states share is 950TMC.

10
Diverting water from the available water
resources to the projects suffering from
inadequate yield is justifiable and should be the
first priority of government to utilize the allocated
share of 950TMC.

11
Genesis of the Pranahitha Chevella Scheme
Senior Engineers of Telangana who are the
corporate as well as national council members of
Institution of Engineers (India) have taken the
onus to formulate a scheme by name Pranahitha
Chevella Lift irrigation to utilize 160TMC from
pranahitha sub basin to augument the shortages
and to create new ayacut in Telangana.

12
In formulating the proposal abundant
precaution is taken to protect the
interests of Andhra Region as far as
existing, On-going and contemplated
projects are concerned and also not to
deviate the allocation made by
Government to different projects.

13
After thorough deliberations with
regard to availability of water and
suitability of locations for lifting
water , feasibility report has been
prepared.

14
The eminent Engineers having rich and vast experience in
Water Resources Development have suggested to make
presentation of the feasibility report to the public
representatives affiliated to all political parties and
accordingly a Round Table Conference on
‘Godavari utilization for Development of Backward Areas
of A.P” was organized on 25.02.2005 at the premises of
Institution of Engineers giving open invitation to all. The
present and former Hon’ble Ministers, MLAs of all major
political parties of Telangana Region, Engineers from all
Regions, Farmers and their representatives have attended
the conference in which the proposals were presented.

15
 A DPR has been presented to
Hon’ble Chief Minister ,Major
Irrigation Minister and Irrigation
Secretary on 25.03.2005

16
Govt. of Andhra Pradesh have entrusted to
WAPCO’s for preparation of DPR who in turn
discussed on several occasion with institute of
Engineers and obtained clarifications.
Based on WAPCO’s report government
accorded administrative approval to the scheme
for Rs18,500 crores initially and also
sanctioned the revised estimate for Rs38,500
Crores

17
Govt. Of Andhra Pradesh have lauded
the efforts of Institution of
Engineers(india) for conceiving the
pranahitha Chevella scheme and
communicated a letter of appreciation
to the chairman the Institution of
Engineers(India)

18
Formulation of Pranahitha Chevella Lift
Scheme
Due to geographical condition lift
schemes are the only possible means
to provide irrigation from the available
water resources in Telangana State.

19
Generally stage lifting is limited to 100
M. Irrigation from each lift is
proposed to the extent commandable
area available and further lifts with
less water and reduced power
requirement will be adopted.

20
Accordingly the entire scheme has been divided
into 7 links, consisting of 28 packages. Under
link-1 of pranahitha it is divided into 1 to 5
packages and under link-2 from yellampally to
Midmanair reservoir viz, packages 6 to 8. All
the packages were tendered and let and to the
agencies.
Except barrage work all other package works
are grounded during 2007-2008 & 2008-
2009

21
Central water commission/Hydrology(South)Directorate
in Director R.K.Gupta Lr.No312 Dt:27.7.2009, the yield
at 75% dependability has been estimated as 273.02 TMC
and net yield @ 75 % dependability after accounting
upstream utilizations and committed utilizations has
been estimated as 236.5 TMC.
With this the divertible water of 160TMC as
assumed is possible at the original proposed location.

22
Both Andhra Pradesh & Maharashtra governments
entered into an agreement in year May 2012 for
constituting interstate board, standing committee and
co-ordination committee.
The basic parameter of fixing proposed FRL+152.00M at
Tummidihatti Site not finalized before Telangana state
was formed though the committee met several times.

23
HOW RE-ENGINEERING OF PRANAHITHA CHEVELLA SCHEME IS NECESSIATED

During meeting with Hon’ble Chief Minister of

Telangana & Maharastra , it was suggested to reduce the
submergence area to the extent possible . At its present
FRL of +152.00 the submergence area is 1850 acres
patta land in Maharashtra but no village is getting
submerged.
After joint surveys and discussion, the
Maharashtra Govt agreed to consider +148.00 M FRL
@ Tummdihatti involving a submergence of 494
acres.

24
Further as per the hydrology studies by CWC from 1971-72 to
2011-12 the available yield at original site Tummidihatti is
assessed as 165.38 TMC only. This was communicated by CWC
vide Lr.No 6/266/2015-PA(S)/163 Dt04.03.2015. with this
revised yield the divertible water would only be 120TMC against
160TMC required and proposed.
In the earlier communication of net yield @75%
dependability with which 160TMC can be diverted in Lr No 312
Dt:27.7.2009 by CWC, the utilisation data upto 1995 has been
used and the utilisation beyond 1995 has been estimated as the
average of 1991-95.

25
In view of the above it was
necessicited to shift the location to
main river of godavari near
Medigadda(V) Mahadevpur(M) which
is now renamed as “Kaleshwaram Lift
Scheme “

26
The present kaleshwaram lift irrigation
project is almost the same as that of
Pranahitha Chevella scheme except certain
modifications to suit to the interstate
agreement reached between Telangana
and Maharastra.
CWC has also accepted the
Kaleshwaram Project as old scheme i.e.
Pranahitha- Chevella Scheme.

27
Modifications:
1) To construct a barrage at tummidihatti site with FRL +148.00m to provide
irrigation facilities to 2 lakh acres in Adilabad District.
2) To construct a barrage on godvari river after confluence of pranahitha river
near Medigadda(V) mahadevpur(M) Karimnagar distrcit with 2 TMC per day
diversion. The water availability at this site was assessed about 300TMC at
75% dependability
3) As the canal system cannot be taken up directly to Sripada sagar
project(yellampally) due to presence of open cast mine,existing developed
towns and habitations, it is proposed three barrages Medigadda , Annaram,
and Sundilla on godavari to divert 2 TMC/day to sripada sagar project by
reverse pumping system (I.e. from lower barrage to upper barrage)
4) The storage capacity is proposed to be increased from 16.43TMC to
141TMC involving 20no’s of reservoirs located in different segments of the
command.
