The multipurpose Nagarjunasagar Project is built on the river
Krishna in the Nalgonda District. The main components of this irrigation
project are a 409 feet high masonry dam flanked by earthen dams to a maximum
height of 85 feet. This creates a lake with gross storage capacity of 408.24
TMC at +590.00 feet level, with two canals taking off from the reservoir at
either flank.
The main benefits of this Project are:
-
Stabilise irrigation under the Krishna Delta System
-
Sufficient water supply has reached the suffering ayacut of tail end areas
-
Water has reached the tail end areas at initial stage itself, increasing the
yield by about 5 to 10 bags per acre
