Expressing serious concern over depleting water level of Srisailam reservoir, the Andhra Pradesh government on Tuesday said it would expose the ‘misdeeds’ of Telangana and request the Krishna River Management Board to exercise its authority effectively during the Board meeting here on Wednesday.
If required, Andhra Pradesh may seek the intervention of the Apex Council comprising the union water resources minister and the chief ministers of both the states to resolve the current dispute.
The Board is scheduled to meet to find a solution to the ongoing dispute between the two states over utilisation of water of the Krishna river at Srisailam as power generation at the Left Power House by Telangana has been depleting water in the reservoir.
The AP govt is ‘seriously concerned’ over the depleting level of water at Srisailam that could result in a grave drinking water and irrigation crisis in the coming months as the Telangana govt is going ahead with power generation in violation of government orders regulating the use of water, said an official.
