Project data
The balancing reservoir initiated is part of SRSP stage-II for which the foundation stone was laid by the former Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao in 1991. The surplus water from Sriram Sagar Project flow though SRSP Flood Flow Canal (SRSP FFC) into Mid Manair Dam apart from Manair River water. Once the dam reached to full capacity, water can be released into Lower Manair Dam, a major balancing reservoir at Karimnagar city with 24Tmcft Gross Capacity.
Dam construction was started in 2004-05 as part of Jalayagnam, but was delayed due to the several political reasons. And there is huge delay in fair compensation and suitable rehabilitation to the oustees of the Mid Manair Reservoir. The oustees are Still looking for the justice from govt.
130 km long Flood Flow Canal construction work was completed till Mid Manair Dam. As Dam is under construction, the released water from Flood Flow Canal head regulator would fill Lower Manair Dam currently.
Reservoir details
Gross Capacity of 25.873 Tmcft.
Left Bank Canal 21 km to irrigate 9,500 acres.
Right Bank Canal 64 km to irrigate 90,500 acres.
Earth dam breach
On 25 September 2016, flood water flowed over the incomplete earth dam of the project and breached the earth dam inundating the downstream areas. Few villages were evacuated to save from water inundation. It was planned to store 3 tmcft water in the project to facilitate water supply under SRSP (stage-II) and Kaleshwaram lift irrigation project. It is not possible to supply water from the project till the earth dam is reconstructed. The project planning and its execution is blamed for the dam breach which has not constructed the earth dam to adequate level in comparison with the adjacent concrete spill way to safely pass the normal flood water without over topping the earth dam.
