Project Detail:
The aim of Krishna (Srisailam) - Pennar link is to transfer a part of the additional water available at Srisailam by partial exchange of the surplus waters of the Mahanadi and the Godavari rivers proposed to be brought to the Krishna river. The diversion of the water is proposed by utilising the existing Srisailam reservoir and Srisailam Right Main Canal (SRMC). The water will be drawn into SRMC through Pothireddipadu head regulator and is proposed to be let-off into Nippulavagu stream through the existing Banakacherla cross regulator and the escape channel. Thereafter, the water will reach the Pennar river through the natural streams of Nippulavagu, Galeru and Kunderu. The total length of the link canal is about 204 km out of which 180 km is through natural streams.
The overall cost of the link project is estimated to be Rs. 81.29 crore based on 1998-99 schedule of rates. The benefit-cost ratio of the whole project by cost-benefit method has been worked out considering the power benefits and cost of the mini hydel schemes and link canal. This is found to be 2.5. The internal rate of return of the whole project considering with and without distributional and employment effect works out to 29.35 % and 25.57 % respectively.
