Inflows into the Srisailam reservoir on the Krishna River have been steady, leading to a rise in storage levels, according to irrigation officials. The improved water levels are expected to benefit both irrigation and hydropower generation in the region.
An irrigation official stated, "The inflows are encouraging. If they continue, they will benefit both irrigation and power generation." The reservoir, located in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, is a key source for drinking water and agriculture in the area.
As of late July 2026, the water level at Srisailam has been rising, though exact figures were not immediately available. The reservoir's capacity is around 215.8 TMC, and current levels are being monitored closely by authorities.
The steady inflows are attributed to monsoon rains in the Krishna basin. If the trend persists, it could ease water stress for farmers and ensure adequate power supply from the hydroelectric plant.
