Krishna and Godavari River Management Boards Setup

planned

The Central government decided to constitute an expert committee to resolve water-sharing disputes between Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It was decided to set up separate offices for the Krishna River Management Board at Amaravati and the Godavari River Management Board in Hyderabad. The boards are expected to oversee water allocations and usage under the Krishna and Godavari river systems, with a deadline to be set up by July 21. Both states agreed on installing telemetry devices for real-time monitoring of water flows in the Krishna Basin and to take immediate measures to address maintenance issues to safeguard the Srisailam dam. The Central government also directed Andhra Pradesh to undertake immediate repair work on the Srisailam project, crucial for water supply and power generation for both states.
