Flood Flow Canal from SRSP
Preamble
The Flood Flow Canal (FFC) project envisages
Irrigation facility to an area of 2.2 lakh acres in the
drought prone areas of Telangana region duly
diverting about 20 TMC of surplus waters from
Sriramasagar Project during floods and storing in
Balancing reservoirs. Under Re-Engineering of the
FFC project, the ayacut has been increased to 2.52
lakh acres.
Source and Location
Source: Godavari River, and location: The Head Regulator and Approach Channel
for drawing the surplus Flood Flows are located in the foreshore of SRSP Reservoir near
Mupkal(V), Balkonda (M), Nizamabad District.
Latitude : 18o-54’-49” North
Longitude : 78o -20’- 34” East.
Salient Features
In Reengineering, MMR R/s Canal capacity has enhanced to 4600 Cusecs from 2652 Cusecs.
