KALESHWARAM CATASTROPHE: INDIA’S DEADLIEST DAM DISASTER IN THE MAKING?

Herald Bureau2 weeks ago2 weeks ago04 mins

From 2019-20 to 2023-24, the KLIP hoisted a whopping 165 TMC of precious Godavari water – enough to quench the thirst of millions. But in a jaw-dropping waste, 63 TMC was dumped right back into the river, unutilized, thanks to killer floods that overwhelmed the system’s flimsy defenses! Subtract that fiasco, and you’re left with 102 TMC. Factor in 10 TMC vanishing into thin air via evaporation, and the net haul? A pitiful 92 TMC.
