Officials from the National Water Development Agency (NWDA) convened a meeting with Telangana officials on Friday to deliberate on the proposed linkage between the Godavari and Cauvery rivers. These consultations are part of an ongoing process, with Telangana sharing its viewpoints during the session.
Key topics of discussion centered around Telangana's entitlement to water resources from the rivers and possible methods for creating a reliable linkage between the Godavari and Cauvery. One of the proposals involves transferring Godavari water to the Nagarjuna Sagar project, and subsequently, channeling it to the Cauvery.
Despite thorough discussions, no concrete decisions were made at today's meeting. Consultations are expected to continue as both sides navigate the complexities of river linking.
