Chennai to Receive Krishna Water from Andhra Pradesh by Friday as Supply Efforts Continue

Chennai is set to receive water from the Krishna River, coming from Andhra Pradesh, by this Friday. The government is making strong efforts to supply this much-needed water to Chennai, which has faced a shortage due to reduced rainfall in recent months.

The water will be supplied through the Telugu Ganga project, which brings water from the Krishna River to Tamil Nadu. This water will help ease the water scarcity Chennai has been facing in recent times. The Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD) is working closely with Andhra Pradesh authorities to ensure the timely delivery.

Officials said that the water will be released from reservoirs in Andhra Pradesh and will reach Chennai by the end of this week. The supply is part of the ongoing efforts to meet the growing demand for water in Chennai, especially as the city’s population continues to increase.

Chennai’s water situation has become critical due to the lack of sufficient rainfall in the region. The city’s main reservoirs, such as the Chembarambakkam and Poondi lakes, have been at low levels, which has created a huge gap between demand and supply. The government is working hard to find alternative sources, and Krishna water is one of the most reliable sources for the city.

The authorities are also improving the infrastructure to ensure that the water reaches all areas of the city. They are upgrading pipelines and storage facilities to manage the new water supply effectively.

This move comes after months of planning and discussions with the Andhra Pradesh government. Officials from both states have coordinated to ensure that the water reaches the city without any delays. The Krishna water is expected to meet a significant portion of Chennai’s water needs, especially in the summer months when demand for water is high.

Residents of Chennai are hopeful that the new supply will reduce the ongoing water shortage. The government continues to monitor the situation closely and plans to increase water conservation measures in the future to avoid similar shortages.
