Express News Service VIJAYAWADA: he ongoing ‘unilateral’ water drawls by Telangana government from Srisailam reservoir for power generation even before water reached the minimum drawdown level (MDDL) is a vindication of sorts for Andhra Pradesh government, which proposed the Rayalaseema Lift Scheme anticipating dwindling flood days due to the projects in the upper catchment area of River Krishna taken up by neighbouring states. Though the project has been proposed as a long-term solution for drought-prone Rayalaseema, Nellore and Prakasam districts to draw only the allocated share of water, the Telangana government’s opposition triggered a fresh row between the two states that have already been sparring over water-sharing post bifurcation. In May 2020, the Andhra Pradesh government had given administrative sanction for the Rayalaseema Lift Scheme at a cost of `3,829 crore.
