Construction work is nearing completion on Kondapochamma reservoir in Telangana. Water will be supplied from the reservoir to the fields in three phases – main canals in Phase-I, by distributaries in Phase-II and sub-minors/field channels in Phase-III.
Land acquisition for main canals -- Jagadevpur, Ramayampet, Gajwel, Sangareddy, Turkapally, Kishtapur and Upparpally – is complete and work is progressing at a fast pace.
The canals will be constructed for about 600 km, of which 450 km will be distributary canals. On each distributary, there will be 10 or 20 field channels that will supply water to the fields in the last leg.
The canal digging work will be taken up in about 170 villages. About 2,000 acre is required for the distributaries and minors, for which survey and land acquisition will commence shortly.
