Godavari Waters to Flow Into North Andhra Through Polavaram Canal Today

The project will irrigate 2.87 lakh acres and supply drinking water to around 90 lakh people, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu released Godavari water to North Coastal Andhra through the Polavaram Left Canal at Payakaraopeta in Anakapalli district.
  • Constructed at a cost of ₹4,192 crore over 213 km, the project overcomes natural barriers like the Eastern Ghats using complex aqueducts and siphons.
  • The water will provide irrigation to 2.87 lakh acres and drinking water to 5.23 lakh people while stabilizing the Pushkara, Yeleru, Pampa, Tandava, Varaha, and Mamidigedda ayacuts and replenishing 110 village tanks.
  • Targeting the previous YSRCP government, Naidu alleged it failed to spend on North Andhra projects while announcing plans to link the canal to the Uttarandhra Sujala Sravanthi project.
  • The government plans to extend Godavari water to Lord Varaha Narasimha at Simhachalam next year and later to Sri Suryanarayana Swamy at Arasavalli, aligning with the 2047 Swarnandhra Vision.
