Lots of water has flowed down the river because of the Water Dispute of the Krishna Tribunal-2 (KWDT-2) expressed the final appreciation, but the Krishna Upper (UKP) project was still trapped in Limbo.
Applying awards, eliminating mud from Almatti and Narayanapur reservoirs and increasing irrigation infrastructure is a big challenge in Karnataka’s efforts to ensure UKP, one of the largest irrigation projects in the country, is successful.
UKP consists of three phases, two of which have been carried out.
The third stage – utilizing 177TMCT water allocated by KWDT-2 – winding through the justice system.
Some also say that the lack of the government will.
The state government stated to use 130TMCT to irrigate hectares 5.3lakh in Vijayapura, Kalaburagi, Bagalkot, Raichur and Gadag District under the UKP stage 3.
However, the plan was trapped because the tribunal final was notified in the Gazette Center.
Without this compulsory process, the state cannot use water.
The central government said his hand was bound since Karnataka himself challenged the tribunal decision at the Supreme Court.
The country is looking for a larger part.
Telangana, Riparian state, has moved a similar petition.
The state has put pressure on the center to notify the verdict, with motorists that will submit to the last commandment of the Supreme Court, just as with the Mahadayi court verdict.
However, the center has refused to succumb to.
Karnataka also submitted a written statement in the Supreme Court, looking for the direction to the center to notify the final verdict.
SC, while allowing Affidavit on Monday, asking the center to submit a reply before delaying the trial until November 29.
“Both central and state have the desire to resolve the problem,” Claimed Panchappa Kalaburagi, President, Krishna-Bhiea.
Coordination Committee.
“This is not a big problem if the two governments make a joint effort.
The Mandir RAM problem is an example.” Some farmers believe the state is not all interested because it will require a giant number – some Rs 70,000 Crore – to apply UKP Stage-3.
To use additional Krishna water, the state must increase the level of storage in the Almatti Dam to 524 meters.
But this will affect 22 villages and parts of the city of Bagalkot.
More than 1.3 lakh hectares of agricultural land will sink under water and most of the funds will be used to compensate and rehabilitate residents.
Many residents say rather than waiting for central notice, the state must start rehabilitation work.
“Suppose the center tells the award next month, how will we store additional water without shifting these villages?” Ask Nagaraj Hongal, a social activist and journalist from Ilkal in the Vijayapura district.
However, Rp.
Kulkarni, retired Chief Engineer KBJNL, Almatti Zone, said additional water can be used immediately because the main canal has been built.
The Mekedatu Hang Firedown South project, the country plans to build a reservoir balancing cum drinking water project on the Cauvery River in Mekedatu in Kanakapura Taluk, Ramanagara District.
This center has enabled Karnataka to prepare detailed project reports, but the TN government has opposed projects that claim it will affect the natural flow of the river.
