Tungabhadra provides water to 6 districts; three in Karnataka and three in Andhra namely Ballari, Koppal and Raichur in the state and Anantapur, Kadapa and Kurnool districts in Andhra Pradesh.
The dam authorities say that the Irrigation Consultative Committee (ICC), which is scheduled to meet on July 16, can take a decision to release water into all canals immediately which will be advantageous to farmers in the command area.
