Krishnamma left the farmers of Palamuru with tears for this Yasangi. Hopes of yasangi cultivation in the area of jurassic project have been dashed. Due to lack of rainfall and flood from upstream, the project does not have sufficient water reserves. As a result, the authorities have been releasing water on a weekly basis for the rainy season crops for almost two months. The authorities have taken a decision by declaring a crop holiday for Yasangi. Recently, in a meeting of irrigation officials held in Hyderabad, there was a discussion on the issue of irrigation for the Ayakattu of Jurala project. The authorities have come to the opinion that crop break is not correct in focusing on drinking water needs rather than cultivation. This is why they are inclined towards crop holidays.
Jurala project is the main source of cultivation, drinking and electricity:
Jurala project is the main source of drinking and irrigation water as well as power generation in the combined Palamuru district. But the Jurala project has a cultivated area of about one lakh five thousand acres through right and left canals. The main left channel of Jurala stretches over 10 mandals for a length of about 100 km. This canal is from Jurala Dam to about Pentlavelli mandal. Officially, there is 70 thousand acres, unofficially another 30 thousand acres are being cultivated by motors. A crop holiday has also been declared in Yasangi under Narayanapur Dam above. Depending on the water conditions in the dam, a decision was taken to release water for the second crop there as well. But if the second crop is grown under the Narayanapur dam, there is a chance of getting some water to the juras below. Now the above project has also announced a crop break, so yasangi under jurassic trees has become difficult. Vanaparthi Circle SE Satyasheela Reddy revealed that in view of the Jurala Project’s water storage, requirements and other circumstances, there is no need to declare a crop holiday for this Yasangi.
Farmers plead to irrigate even under weekly schedule:
Out of the total capacity of Jurala project of 9.16 TMC, currently 4.9 TMC of water is available. Officials say that it is difficult to cultivate with the remaining water for drinking water needs. And this time, the farmers started to worry when the authorities clarified that they would not be able to provide irrigation water to the project area in Yasangi. The farmers are begging the authorities to provide water at least on a weekly basis to them who depend on agriculture for their livelihood. It is said that the crop yield in Yasangi is also likely to be high. This time a crop holiday announcement has been issued for Yasangi crop once again in the history of Jurala project. Officials say that the main reason for this is the rainy conditions in the Krishna basin. And depending on the bores and wells, some farmers have prepared for yasangi cultivation to some extent.
