(PCSS) project is an Interstate project between Maharashtra and erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. The barrage was proposed with FRL +152.00 m and capacity +5.09 TMC.
As per the Godavari Water Disputes Tribunal (GWDT) report, dated 06th October 1975, the State of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh have agreed to take up 3 projects namely (1) Lendi Project, (2) Lower Penganga and (3) Pranahita agreed water utilization. Accordingly, Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Pranahita Sravanthi project was taken up.
Maharashtra Government expressed concerns over fixing of the proposed FRL of +152.00 for construction of barrage near Tummidi Hetti due to submergence of large extent of land in their territory and requested to reduce the FRL and avoid submerge territory.
An agreement for constitution of Inter State Board for PCSS was entered into by the then Hon’ble C.Ms of Maharashtra & AP on 05/05/2012.
The Government of Maharashtra have repeatedly requested to lower the FRL from +152.00 m to +148.00 m and minimize the extent of submergence.
Detailed Joint surveys by both the States and the actual submergence extent of Maharashtra territory was assessed as 3786 acres with barrage at FRL +152.00 m and 285 acres with FRL of +148.00 m.
KALESHWARAM PROJECT
Preamble: Kaleshwaram Project has been
conceived from the erstwhile Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Pranahita- Chevella Sujala Sravanthi project.
Originally, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Pranahita- Chevella Sujala Sravanthi was proposed to utilize 160 TMC of allocated water of Godavari basin as per
GWDT award. A barrage was proposed at Tummidihetti(V) to divert 160 TMC of water to irrigate 16.40 lakh Ac in 7 districts of Telangana State viz., Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Medak, Warangal, Nalgonda & Rangareddy, besides drinking water & industrial water.
The project contemplated to provide Irrigation facilities for an ayacut of 16,40,000 Acres in drought prone areas in 7 Districts in Telangana State. Further, it also planned to provide 10 TMC of Drinking Water to the villages enroute, 30 TMC of Drinking Water to twin Cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad and 16 TMC of water for Industrial use.
The entire project works are divided into 7 links & 28 packages. Agreements concluded for all 28 Packages during 2007-08 & 2008-09.
But, due to the following aspects the project was taken up for re-engineering:

A meeting was held on 17th February 2015 between Hon’ble Chief Minister of Telangana and Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra along with Hon’ble Ministers and officers of Telangana and Maharashtra. In the meeting, the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Maharashtra expressed that considering the unrest, it is necessary to lower down the barrage level and minimize the submergence area.
A co-ordinating committee meeting was held on 29-12-2015 to finalize the FRL of the barrage at +148.00m with a capacity of about 1.85 TMC which was agreed by Government of Maharashtra.
The Government of Telangana exercised all-out efforts and after conducting as many as 12 meetings (Technical, Co-ordination committee, Hon’ble Minister’s level & Hon’ble Chief Minster’s level). An Interstate Board was constituted to resolve the issues between both the states on 08th March, 2016 and finally the Government of Maharashtra has agreed for construction of barrage at Tummidihetti across river Pranahita with FRL +148.00 m during Interstate Board meeting held in Mumbai on 23-08-2016.
Water availability
The detailed water availability studies were carried out and assessed by the Central Water Commission, New Delhi. Accordingly, the net water availability at the barrage location (Tummidihetti) was assessed as about 165.38 TMC at 75% dependability which includes perceived surpluses of 63 TMC from the share of u/s states.
Further, the CWC stated that availability of surpluses of 63 TMC from upstream states as estimated at the barrage site may not be reliably available in future.
As per the Hydrology studies with FRL +152.00 m, the divertible water would be about 110 to 120 TMC against 160 TMC required & proposed.
As per the studies done with FRL of +148.00 m, involving minimum submergence in Maharashtra, the divertible flows is 44 TMC only as against the allocation & utilization of 160 TMC.
Thus, the water available is not sufficient to meet the planned utilization of this project.
Storage capacities
Further, the Central Water Commission, suggested to re-look into the integrated Storage Planning aspects of the project to match the demand and supply as the proposed capacities of storage reservoirs is insufficient for success of the project and stated that there is requirement of artificial reservoirs within and around the project area either by increasing the capacity of existing reservoirs or creating additional new reservoirs.
Revised Scope of Project The basic concern of Maharashtra on submergence and the insufficient availability of water at Tummidihetti location has rendered the basic assumption of location of barrage Head works at Tummidihetti as technically unsuitable for meeting the requirements of the entire contemplated ayacut, necessitating a total re-look and study of suitable alternative location for drawing the required quantum of water with assured dependability.
Hence, in order to make the project functional and achieve the contemplated benefits to effectively utilize the Telangana state’s share of Godavari Basin, an alternate location of barrage across river Godavari had to be investigated by M/s WAPCOS Ltd., by using the latest technology
i.e., LiDAR technique and the location was proposed at Medigadda(V) (near Kaleshwaram), Mahadevpur (M), Karimnagar District. The location of the barrage is most suitable at Medigadda(V) near Kaleshwaram, Jayashankar hupalapally District where the net availability of water has been assessed as 284.3 TMC (as against the proposed diversion of 195 TMC) considering ongoing and proposed utilization through the projects in Penganga, Wardha, Pranahita, Middle Godavari and Manair sub basins. In view of the above, the original project has been divided into two components viz., Kaleshwaram and Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Pranahita Project (Adilabad) as follows: Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Pranahita project To divert 20 TMC of water by constructing a barrage across river Pranahita near the
confluence of Wainganga and Wardha rivers at Tummidihetti (V), Koutala (M), Adilabad District for irrigating an ayacut of 2,00,000 acres in East Adilabad district against the original proposed 56,500 acres in the district.
Kaleshwaram Project Construction of one barrage across river Godavari at Medigadda near Kaleshwaram, and
two more barrages between Medigadda and Sripada Yellampally Project at Annaram & Sundilla and to convey water from Sripada Yellampally Project to the command area spread over in 7 districts of Telangana (now 13 districts after re-organization of districts in the state) through components such as canals, tunnels, lift systems, reservoirs, and distributory network for irrigating an ayacut of 18,25,700 acres against the original proposed ayacut of 16,40,000 acres. Further, it is proposed to stabilize the existing ayacut in other major projects viz., SRSP Stage-I, SRSP Stage-II, Flood Flow Canal, Singur & Nizamsagar projects to an extent of 18,82,970 acres. Besides irrigation, drinking water (30 TMC for twin cities & 10 TMC for enroute villages) & water for industrial use (16 TMC) is also proposed.
Further, after careful planning, the proposed capacity of reservoirs is increased from 11.43 TMC to 147.71 TMC by enhancing the capacities of existing reservoirs and proposing new reservoirs to match the demand and supply.
It is re-iterated that the Kaleshwaram and Pranahita projects are the off-shoots of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar Pranahita-Chevella Sujala Sravanthi project, necessitated because of comments of CWC and inter-state issues with Maharashtra.

Project Benefits Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme of Telangana is one of the world’s biggest irrigation
project that is set to end water woes of the state where many regions are parched. This project aims at an ambitious target of diverting 195 TMC of water to the backward areas in the state of Telangana. The project envisages the following:
