1	Present Irrigation Projects Taken up Causing Loss to Telangana Vedire Venkat Reddy
2	Current Irrigation Projects in AP Irrigation projects benefiting Andhra at Telangana’s expense Irrigation projects in Telangana intended to benefit Telangana, but are not viable. Will become failed projects
3	Projects Benefiting Andhra at Telangana’s Expense Pulichintala Telugu Ganga Various other projects
4	Pulichintala Pulichintala facts Originally 181 tmc of free waters allotted to Krishna delta for the first crop The crisis is on account of draining both Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar reservoirs in the name of power generation and giving water to Krishna delta for 365 days with ulterior motives
5	Pulichintala Against 181 tmc, the Krishna delta lobby is drawing more than 400 tmc by emptying Nagarjunasagar and letting out the free waters available into Bay of Bengal. The farmers under Nagarjunasagar are deprived of their waters
6	Pulichintala Constructing Pulichintala will Submerge 22 villages in Nalgonda and Guntur districts About 30,000 acres of land displacing 50,000 people Lot of Lime stone and Cement factories and some temples
7	Map of Pulichintala
8	Telugu Ganga Original facts Telugu Ganga was originally constructed for supplying 15 TMC of water to Chennai city for drinking by Maharashtra, Karnataka and AP each contributing 5 TMC from the protected water allotted to them Present scenario There is no allotment for irrigation in AP under this canal where as Veligodu, Potuluri Veerabrahmam, Somashila and Kandaleru balancing reservoirs are together drawing more than 150 TMC out of protected waters allotted to AP
9	Telugu Ganga Other present facts They are also drawing more than 30 TMC to Right bank canal (SRBC) and KC canal from Srisailam. They have illegally made outlets to Rajolibanda barrage and taking waters meant for Mahabubnagar to Sunkesula barrage which is modernized and the entire waters of Tungabhadra is being tapped from there. The above drawals are in addition to allotted protected waters under Tungabhadra low level, high level canals and KC canal under Sunkesula barrage.
10	Other Projects Causing Loss to Telangana Other currently tenders called for projects Gundlakamma, Ramatheertha, Somasila, GuruRagavendra LIS, KCCMP, Galerunagiri, Handri Neeva, Chitravati, SRSP – II and Veligonda projects if constructed will draw the entire Krishna waters to Rayalaseema that is to Penna leaving Telangana without any waters from Srisailam reservoir
11	Madhava Reddy LIS Naming the Madhava Reddy LIS project as SLBC is really deceiving - It is a Lift scheme on Nagarjunasagar consuming nearly 100 MW power. In fact SLBC thru tunnel was sanctioned in 1992 itself and it has got all the clearances including environmental and forest clearances but the present govt. has not taken up this project mischievously to deprive Telangana.
12	Projects in Telangana That Are Not Viable Sriramsagar Project stage 2 and flood flow canal planned will not get any waters because Sriramsagar project since last 10 years is not supplying more than 5 lakh acres land in Karimnagar and Warangal districts. The canals dug earlier under stage I by Teleugu desam govt. in Mahabubabad mandal was not supplied any waters and digging further canals under stage II and flood flow would not get any waters
13	Projects in Telangana That Are Not Viable LIS schemes on Krishna and Godavari such as Gupta, Halisagar, Devadula, Nettampadu do not have reservoirs at the source and they need heavy power for lifting and these are not useful for the people of Telangana The govt. by not constructing the sanctioned projects such as SLBC and Tail pond dam under Nagarjunasagar appears to be intentionally depriving Telangana farmers of water through gravity and knocking away these waters to Andhra area by gravity
14	Loss to Telangana in Power Sector A super thermal station supposed to be constructed at Manuguru of Khammam district of Telangana was shifted to Vijayawada of Krishna district in Andhra At present, Govt. is bent upon to add another 640 MW station at Vijayawada with German collaboration. This will need more loads of coal transportation and much more water from river Krishna
15	Loss to Telangana in Power Sector Muddanuru Thermal station: It is constructed in the Cuddapah district of Rayalaseema which is nearly 700 KM from coal fields Construction of 2000 MW thermal stations at Vizag and 1000 MW thermal stations at Nellore ignoring the Telangana region where plenty of coal is available
16	Future vision - Power Projects As the lifting of Godavari waters for drinking and agriculture is an urgent need, at least a 2000 MW thermal station is to be constructed at Bhupalpalli. A pit head station should be constructed which is the load center for the lift irrigation schemes Till the above station comes up, National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) has to supply the power needed for these lift irrigation schemes of Godavari
17	Future Vision - Power Projects One more 2000 MW atomic power plant has to be constructed in Adilabad district beyond Sirpurkagaznagar where the water is available, population is less, and sufficient waste lands can be used for this purpose Hydel power on Godavari on all the projects to be constructed at Kaleswaram, Kanthalapalli, Dummugudem and other barrages should be taken up and finished in 10 years
18	Future Vision - Power Projects Recovery of power spent on lift irrigation schemes of Godavari waters by erecting hydel stations on check dams on Godavari and Krishna tributaries should be taken up Development of non-conventional energy such as Solar power, mini-hydel power, bio mass power, bio diesel power should be taken up
