To eliminate the need of expensive water pumping and facilitate water flow by gravity to the Akkampalli reservoir, it is envisaged to bring water from Srisailam reservoir to the plains of Nalgonda through two tunnels of a total length of 50.75 km (31.53 mi). This scheme is known as Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) project.
This is possible by constructing a balancing reservoir by separating some area of the NS reservoir with a new dam across the Bhimanapalli Vagu tributary at just upstream of the Puttamgandi PH approach channel. This new dam with FRL 590 feet (180 m) MSL, would not submerge any additional area other than the area already submerged by the NS ...
With an extensive rebuilding of the canal and several reservoirs, the project was completed in 2004, when the Poondi reservoir received Krishna water for the first time. [2] The supply of water to Chennai city in 2006 was 3.7 billion cubic feet (100 × 10 ^ 6 m 3 ). [ 3 ]
In terms of storage of water, it is the largest reservoir in India, with capacity of 12.22 billion cu m or 12.2 km 3, followed by Nagarjuna Sagar between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The dam was built as a joint venture between Madhya Pradesh irrigation and National Hydroelectric Power Corporation. It was commissioned in May 2005. [2]
A low-level, lift canal from the Krishna river located near at 20 metres (66 ft) MSL downstream of Pulichintala dam will be executed to feed Godavari water diverted from Polavaram Dam to some of the existing command area (situated below 60 m MSL) under Nagarjuna Sagar right bank canal to facilitate the extension of Nagarjuna Sagar right bank ...
The dam is surrounded by reserve forests. Muthikulam hill is situated on the eastern side of the dam. There is a natural waterfall in the hill. The waterfalls and the Dam are big tourist attractions. The famous 150-year-old Pattiyar Bungalow is on the banks of the Siruvani Reservoir.
Manchanabele dam is nearby to the place, across the river Arkavathy.It is a trekking location. [2] It provides water to Magadi town, Kayaking also conducted here. Species of Water Snakes are also visible [3] However, the reservoir bed is a death trap with sudden fault-lines, large boulders as well as deep slush.
The Ponmudi dam is a masonry gravity dam of 59 metres (194 ft) height with a total length of 294 metres (965 ft). At the Full Reservoir Level, the gross storage capacity of the reservoir is 51,540,000 cubic metres (1.820 × 10 9 cu ft) and live storage is 47,400,000 cubic metres (1.67 × 10 9 cu ft). The dam has a total volumetric content of ...
