The project linking Godavari and Krishna rivers has been completed now. On September 16th, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu will release the water of river Godavari into Krishna to address the water woes of farmers to some extent. This event is being planned at Ibrahimpatnam near Vijayawada.
AP Government Advisor Parakala Prabhakar said inter-linking of rivers has been on the agenda since Engineer KL Rao served as Irrigation Minister in the Union Cabinet in the 1950s. He added, Its was during Vajpayee's regime the inter-linking of rivers has been revived and finally implemented during Naidu's rule.
About 80 TMC of Godavari water will be sent to Krishna basin. Thanks to the TDP Government's Pattiseema lift irrigation project which made this happen!
TDP Government is planning to develop the place where two rivers meet near Ibrahimpatnam as a tourist spot.
