In advance of the parliamentary elections, the State administration has obtained an emergency release of 2.25 trillion liters of water from Karnataka. Irrigation officials had requested in march that the karnataka government release water from the upper krishna projects in the case of severe shortage circumstances, anticipating an imminent water crisis.
 
In response to the request, their karnataka colleagues began to release water from the Narayanpur dam on Wednesday. The 167 km of water that will be discharged in karnataka will take two and a half days to reach the Jurala project. One of the main concerns with the karnataka water project was the loss of transmission during the summer months. However, because karnataka has been providing regular water supplies to the Guljapur project (112 km away from Narayanpur) to sustain thermal operations at the Raichur power station, the loss is anticipated to be minimal this time. It is 55 kilometers from the Jurala project, which will take water from the Narayanpur dam.
 
Request made for 10 TMC
Karnataka was asked by the State for 10 TMC of water; however, due to the water situation under the Almatti and Narayanpur dams, karnataka did not reply right away. rahul Bojja, the irrigation secretary, then recently wrote to his karnataka colleague once more to ask for at least five TMCs. Compared to Bengaluru, which is located in the Cauvery basin, the situation in the districts and towns of karnataka covered by the krishna basin projects was reportedly better.
 
After determining its own water needs for the ensuing three months, the karnataka government granted the State's request. As part of the expedition, Chief engineer Vijay bhaskar Reddy and his staff recently visited with karnataka irrigation authorities in Bengaluru.
