Project Detail:
The Godavari (Inchampalli) - Krishna (Nagarjunasagar) link canal project envisages diversion of 16426 Mm3 of water from the proposed Inchampalli project on river Godavari to the existing Nagarjunasagar project on river Krishna. Out of this, a quantum of 1664 Mm 3 is to be utilised for irrigation, domestic and industrial uses in the command area enroute and 562 Mm3 will be lost in transmission and the balance 14200 Mm3 will reach Krishna at the existing Nagarjunasagar reservoir. After meeting the deficit in Krishna basin the balance quantity will be further diverted to Pennar, Cauvery, Vaigai and Gundar basins.
Direct benefits from the link project due to irrigation, domestic and industrial water supplies enroute the canal are estimated to be Rs. 1217 crore per annum. The capital cost of this project is Rs. 26289 crore at 2003-04 price level. Based on the quantum of water consumed en route the canal, apportioned cost is worked out to be Rs.2754 crore and the annual cost to be Rs. 541 crore. The Benefit Cost Ratio works out to 2.25 and the Internal Rate of Return with and without distributional and employment effect are assessed as 17.86% and 14.81% respectively. The B.C. ratio may undergo a change if the cost of transferring surplus waters from the upstream link canal is also considered.
