NALGONDA: After three decades, water was released from Musi reservoir to the right and left canals by State Energy Minister G Jagadhish Reddy on Sunday. In 1963, the project was constructed at Solipeta village of Ketheypally mandal.
The present reservoir level is 639 feet (Full Reservoir Level is 645 feet). Due to lack of rains last year, Musi’s FRL had reduced to 619 feet. Officials expect that in coming two months, the reservoir will maintain full water level.
About 30,000 acres of land is cultivated under Musi project in two revenue divisions of three mandals of Nalgonda and Suryapet districts.
